These are another Queensland made lure.They were made by Ron Henderson from Cairns.I do not have much info yet on their Distribution or Origin.I think late 90's to early 2000.

 Barry... Local Lures started in Brisbane in 1975odd and were made for own family use for Bass and Jacks and given away to friends in Brisbane Sportfishing Club. Never sold commercially. Shifted to Cairns in mid1980 and found Barra loved the lures. Still making a few with new models as needed. The Bomber type lure above is not mine.   Ron

This orange lure has a similar signature to the red one that Ausbasstony put up...also possibly not made by Ron!

This an early one, Brisbane made late 70's according to Ron. Lovely 4" size, can see why barra loved them when Ron moved north. Running script signed on belly 'Local Lures', have a couple of his recent ones also in my collection.
Regards, Seaweed.

Barry, I think yours may be a bit older than late 90's. Could be more 80's vintage.
