Thought I would put these here to give Tony something to do and seeing we have been talking about them.Some of these were given to me by Warren Steptoe knew Russell well.
Hope you like them they are an exceptionally well made lure.

I've been lucky to have a member here, trade me for an R.J. lure, which I didn't have up until now. Just waiting for it to arrive, it's a barra style with the unique shaped bib. Another one to add to my Qld. barra lure makers.
Can anyone here give me info. on Russ, ie. where does he hale from? Is he still making? Barry states, he was a mate of Warren Steptoe's, but no other bio type info. in the thread. Would appreciate any background, maybe a member here is a mate, or knows him. Regards, Tony.

Not a lot of info on Russell other than he use to be a prison guard and lures were made in Qld, I collect his lures and I have tried to track him down but with no luck. I have spoken to Warren Steptoe about Russell but Warren told me he hadn’t spoken to him in many years.

Think he was from the North, could even be Townsville, do you have a prison? You could enquire there .

We have a couple of fine rehabilitation facilities located here. Also one in Rocky and at lotus glen just south of Mareeba. Could be a northern lure??

Hi Ali, good to see you on the forum. Russ's lures were of exceptional quality and I'm happy to have a few in my collection and still fish one occasionally. I bought my first one from Mossops in Brisbane about 40 years ago and was impressed by the the craftmanship and his unique designs. Here's my small group...
