Very happy with the painted bib versions - they look awesome with the big V from the nose. Really nice.

Great lures guys

I agree with Stephen, the viper tongue on the oldies looks great, I hadn't seen them before, thanks for sharing.


Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

Hi,
 
they are nive lures that's for sure. I have a couple of the large ones with the painted metal bib's.
 
I swam them at Glenlyon dam for a couple of years and thew a few away before I realised the collecting side of these beauties. The problem I had with those particular lure was the timber seemed like it would swell and all the paint cracked and made the lure go all funny. I still have a couple of them that are intact though. and plenty of his smaller ones.
 
Thanks for the reminder pic's Smile

I have a number of the wooden ones, some with custom paint jobs from Shane.
I'll take some photos and post them.

When targetting cod in Somerset Dam, I use all black ones which they seem to like.
I rarely get interest from bass & goldens for that colour.
