Here are a couple I picked up today (love that second hand store) that were new in pack. Must be a bit of age to them as the stamped address for the owner is still in the old phone area code number. Made up near Tony's area at Dunrowran by Gary Peake.
I might have to start a QLD section on the wall at this rate Otherwise will have to send these QLD's to Tony. Hard to decide

G'day Wayne. I dont know if they are wood or timber. Doing a bit of a serch I have found someone say they are wood, BUT I have also heard them say they are made in Carnarvon WA, so if they were wrong on where made I guess they could be wrong on what made from.
Only 2 in the little second hand store I frequent. No ideas on colours but perhaps Tony at some stage may find out more if the maker is still local?

I recon that one has seen a few mackerel. Is that timber I can see? I am guessing they are moulded as that much action should of seen a timber lure shredded.
The top 2 ended up going back to their hometown with Tony.

The lures are made from a secret resin formula. Gary created a range of depth stalker lures from the material. Gary hand painted each one. Great, robust lures for the day. Caught lots of big fish on them around Carnarvon WA. Gary first made the lures in his Carnarvon panel shop. Moved to QLD after that..
