Here is my first Wild River lure. It was given to me by John in the early to mid 90s, my father and him used to "talk computers" back in those days and it was truly amazing to see racks and racks of his lures hanging from the walls. I also have the same pattern, but with the belly "cut away". I'll have to find it and post a picture.

Hi there fellow collectors been going through a few posts and stumbled across these lures which finally helped me identify one of my mystery lures.
Now that i know what i have i was wondering are these lures rare? Are they still being made? Have any been traded/sold recently?
My lure is the same as the the last lure in the first row in the second picture post.Did this model have a specific name?
Thanks in advance.
Regards Tom

John has not made for the public for quite a number of years however when he needs some for family or friends he still puts the odd one together.
They do not come up for sale very often and when they do are not particularly expensive.
$10-20 at times if you are lucky and I have seen a few go for $60-80.
