Hi everyone

This is a copy of a post from the Whitty's Lures Facebook Page.  As I'm now becoming more better at using Lurelovers.com, I will make sure that I will put posts on here.  I know not everyone uses Facebook so hopefully I get the message out to everyone this way.

FOR SALE DIRECT FROM THE VAULT- Rare No1 Prototype 80mm Dee-Bob Timber Lure

This absolute one-off 80mm black and white Dee-Bob was made by John back in 1988. Features include the diamond back, black side stripes, light silver belly, red throat and painted eyes. The bib is aluminum with eagle claw hooks. 

Unique feature of this lure is the rounded tail with the square nose.

John never went ahead with this style as he felt he wanted a more streamline looking lure. 

The has been tank tested for swimming action and John will sign the lure for the new owner. 

This lure will be available for sale until midnight 23 November 2014 and will be sold to the highest bidder. 

Please email whittyslures@gmail.com or PM genuine offers only.






Cheers
Tina
