Just awesome Barry, that's quite a few decades of top shelf lure making experience gathered in the shed! Clap

The wall of John's shed has a good sampling of his trademark colours I see Big smile


Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

My kind of guy, gear and sawdust everywhere, making his own tools/machines -- only difference I can see is he is much more organised/tidy than I.LOL  

Sometimes it's criminal to have so much knowledge and experience in one place, what if there were some sort of accident Cry. ---------starting to sound like my ex!!

Thanks Barry, these little pieces of history are always very interesting.
