Hello All,

Would anyone have any info regarding this lure. I was given it by my father-in-law, and he is unsure when he purchased it. Given the price... and backward mapping inflation i'm guessing it can't be that old.

I would have said between 1984 and 1988 was pretty good.

We used to pay about that price in the mid to late eighites ( from the Lounds on Boundary Street ) but I don't know the age of the lure.
Plastic is for storing lures, not making them.

Can even tell you where your father purchased, Rod & Rifle was the name of Warren DeWiths original tackle store in Katherine N.T. around the mid-80's. So ties in nicely with Jim's timeline.
