This is one of the first Stumpjumpers made.
In the early days John Ellis made a few by hand.
The bibs were straight with no dish, the lure didn't get to the depth John wanted so he then made the bend in the bib. These lures are a little larger and a little different shaped.

I think Brett and I have known each other long enough for him to trust me...just a little
I thought about what I typed, but thought...give 'em something to chuckle over |

G'day Brett, only took you 4yrs. to answer Deb's question .
Said hello to your mate Cookie at the Darwin Boat & Fishing show, nice fella, said it took him three days to train the local barra into not being spooked. Better than lion taming I reckon . Seaweed.
