I only have these two, although they have a lot of character!


The little one is an Eddy "Little Beauty" which I have been advised later went on to become what we now know as the mini Dam Buster.  This is the only example of the Little Beauty I have ever seen, are there any others out there?

The larger lure is an early timber "Dam Buster" and has a rattle in it. As you can see it is well used!

Here's a quote from Dave Edwards (original maker of Eddy Lures) about this lure.

Quote This one is an early Red Cedar RATTLING Dam Buster (1986).  This was bounced of quite a few rocks at Copeton Dam.
This is Rare!

There were only 30 or 40 Rattling Dam Busters ever hand made, because of the difficulties involved. The rattling chamber is a 22 caliber bullet casing containing 2 ball bearings! The timber body is made in two halves and glued.






Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.
