Hi all.
Just joined and thought id open my lure post with this . Still has the original hook and swivel on it from the day i bought it. The action of it is well . I can only think it annoyed the crap out of the fish more than enything else. I pulled it around in my pool earlier and its like its in slow motion. I bought it at oreilly's in preston around 1988 i think. I cant even remember what the thing was worth. cheers |
