    Posted: 05 Sep 2016 at 6:07pm
I have a Min Min on card done in Shrink Wrap but a few other Downunders are just loose on their cards.

Does anyone know if all 3 of the Doll's Eye range were done in Shrink Wrap at the start or was it only the Min Min?

And another question. Can you find both white and yellow doll's eyes in the same colour lure or was the eye colour applied consistently to a certain lure colour?

Cheers, Jim

I am fairly sure I have seen all three sizes in the "shrink wrap", unfortunately I don't have them.
The yellow eyes seem to be predominantly on seven colours, I think that anything other than these with yellow eyes was "just a bad day at the office" , and any of the seven with white eyes are after market fix ups.

Thanks Laurie.
I would guess a few eyes fell off with usage as I have a couple with eyes half hanging out, though still
 
seem firmly attached ( Not game to REALLY test them out though) I think one or two of these are still
 
on the card so have never been swum.
 
Cheers, Jim

Presuming you mean minnow shape for late model.
 
This is one of those weird shaped things on a green and yellow Lively Lures card. Purple with a black spot? Offered to swap it to you years ago( on the other site ) for a wooden Boomer and you just went BOING EYES at me ( haven't got the same emoticon here )

Just spotted the other topic. Are you talking about whether or not the bib has Downunder on it??? If so there's a lot of not widely publicised tricks to this game.
 
I don't know. Would have to look tomorrow.

Jim
the "early" ones had a single spot on side, and the later ones had stripes and multi spots (same pattern as the 60mm model.

My shrink wrap Min Min is silver with a red or purple spot and has yellow eyes (same as an 80mm Boomerang I have also)

None of my Down Unders have the square towCry

Lurehuboz has a photo of an 80mm on a shrink wrap card and the lure is not first series. Assuming
 
that the shrink wrap is earlier does that mean that all first series were on shrink wrap cards?
