Will be interested to see these, as I've a lure that's an unknown at present, but going by the paint I'm fairly certain is a Peter Munt, thanks for showing.
Regards, Tony.

Barry, Peter Fooks sold these as MM lures in the late 80's out of the LureShop in Cooktown. I was told the MM stood for Moller Minnow, don't know the relationship there? Thanks for the ID, was fairly sure, one less unknown now.
Regards, Tony.

Moller Minnow is what Peter called some of his lures.He Moved to Cardwell in 1979 and was very good friends with Eric.He spent a lot of time with Eric and tried to copy Eric's shapes down to a tee because he said he saw no reason to change something that worked really well.As Eric's health deteriorated Peter spent more and more time helping him finish some of his orders.Peter also had an association with Attack lures.This info was gathered from Peter while he was staying with me a few days ago.There are also some other lures Peter said he made that I thought were another maker.That info will come out soon.

Thanks for the update Cranky, great to hear about the connection with Eric. I'm trying to get Bruce Moller involved here, slowly, slowly, all good things come to those who wait.
Regards, Tony.

You've done it again Captain! Smile

Great to have a face to put to the name for Peter, thanks Barry.

And what a nice looking tangle of lures that is!


Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.
