Maddog (Dave) brought  down for me to see an unusual designed metal lure that I had not come across before.

Anybody used one or come across them in their travels.



Regards John

A Spon with a bib on Confused That looks very interesting John. Would love to see how that goes in the water. Cud imagine it is more thin - light in the bib end, so the hook goes in the narrow end. Is that correct Approve

Glen Evans was most famous for it's Shyster spinner.

They had acquired the South Bend line (Bass Oreno etc...) of lures in late '70's - early '80's, then were later acquired by Luhr Jensen, who was the last maker of the Loco.

Found this 1968 advert

 A bit more back ground history to the lures.

Thanks for the info Steve and Dave.Thumbs Up

Now we know Screaming Reel, it's been in Dad's tackle box for a while now and would be great on Australian salmon.
