    Posted: 13 May 2014 at 8:17pm
Hi all, as many of you know, last year I spent the money & had a dye set made of my "Ironhide" 65mm shape - making it easier for me to sell to more shops & also do cooler/better finishes (clear, chrome, laser etc)

I had some timber bodies that I'd never finished left over in a tub in the shed that were kind of forgotten about until earlier this year...

I decided to do the work & finish them & make it known they'd be the final timbers. 125 bodies are now finished in 5 colours that I've never done before & will be turned into 25 sets of 5 lures in timber cases with certificates etc.

Tonight I revealed on my Rupes Lures Facebook page the first of the 5 colours which is a tribute to the 'Green Attractor" colour that used to the be the first lure I'd tie on when fishing for natives with Dads old timber rellik-docs

I've been posting regular updates on there throughout the process & will continue to do so, so feel free to follow the action on there...

Here's a pic of the first colour I've revealed - FATAL ATTRACTION

Would like to hear the thoughts of the collectors

G'day Mick - will be finished ASAP (probably a few weeks) and unsure of final cost just yet as waiting on bill to arrive from the dude making the timber display boxes for me...

Will probably be in the $125 ballpark with freight included.

constant updates on the Facebook page

Thanks to all who have sent PM's etc about the sets - nothing for sale yet, will wait until they're all finished & let you know.

Should be about a fortnight I'd say at the rate I'm going now.

Looking like they'll all be placed on eBay as a buy it now option all starting at the same time selling as individual numbered sets. That way if you're more interested in a certain number you can buy that one providing someone else doesn't beat you to it!

Appreciate the interest & feedback in the colours revealed so far, will reveal the next one on Monday or Tuesday night....
