Thanks to Barry I've added a Chop Bone to my Old Man Lures collection along with a few others (finally found the right Bait to catch it!)
Now I need to find some examples of the Freshwater Models to complete the set of these awesome Hervey Bay locals! |

Hi Deb,
Not sure on the exact dates, although there were apparently only a dozen made. They get a mention in one of David Greens articles in Fishing World May 1990 (posted in the History of Old Man Lures thread) That suggests to me maybe late 80's early nineties? Hopefully Jeff might be able to clarify, will let you know if I find any more info.
