Lionel...yours could be a Munt lure.
Eddie looks like a Munt or a Lee's? but I could be wrong. |

Eddie, your Gar lure looks like an Attack Lure
Some more info at this link: http://www.lurelovers.com/forum/some-attack-lures_topic932.html I agree with Steiny that Lionels has a Munt look to it |

That's it fellas You've bumped this old grey matter into gear. Lionel's is a Munt and I reckon the gar imitations were from the same stable... be still could be wrong
I don't think we sold any of Richard's lures in the shop but could be mistaken. Rememebr he used to have a stall in the mall markets those days... Richard???? GEEZ Now you've confused me Tony. The lures you have pictured (unpacketed) are certainly the same as I have, but I cannot recall the Attack packaging ever. I would go with your call though

You're not alone Eddie, I'm at least a little confused myself more often than not nowadays. One thing I've learnt with old fishing lures is that the more I know, the more I know I don't know! If memory serves me correct I think CaptainCranky might have one the same as the Gar we both have still in packet, if so that should help us to clear any doubt |

The smaller minnow is a Munt, made and sold as a MM (Moller Minnow), out of the Lure Shop Cooktown in mid 80's. I have one identical, sold while Peter Fooks was proprietor.

Peter Munt provided this information about the Moller Minnows history last year - Moller Minnows were never made in Cooktown, some did have Carl Grist Bibs, I made them in Maryborough. They were naned "Moller Minnows" after gaining permission from the Moller family. Eric taught me to make lures, I spent many days in his shed with him prior to his passing, on his request I filled many of his orders when he found that he was unable to do so. Peter Munt Allan

Eddie , This lure is almost certainly a Peter Munt paint job. lt carries Peters trademark scaling and subtlety of application. The eyes are his , and the yellow/orange 'chin'. The towpoint and hangers throw me a bit. but l'd say it was a Munt. Barney.

Apparently, at one point, Peter Munt used to paint Attack Lures.

G'day Barney As a born and bred Maryborough boy I'd be ecstatic if it's a Munt Lure, I've contacted Barry to see if he can help sort the mystery, he holds a few keys to it I think! After reading Allan's post, it being at least painted by Peter Munt does seem to fit. I'm glad Eddie's posted his up, great thread with lots of info coming together! |

Also a LTL by Murry Smith from Hervy Bay.
Story is that an old bloke from the bay, Barry Neat,long gone ,had a copy lathe of some sort and used to turn out bodys for Munt /LTL, when he wasn't busy he also assembled lures to painting stage, in the process he used the same bib, very distinct shape, came from my original Cooktown Tiger deep 82-83, these were the bibs i supplied to Peter Munt and the same bib in Lionels Munt Moller Minnow, all lovely old lures Fellas.
