The Aussie swimmers might be finding Gold Medals a bit hard to come by in London at present but when I opened a parcel of Ollie's swimmers yesterday I certainly struck Gold.

Ollie has been doing some R&D with a few new shapes and trialling the use of gold/silver foil in his finishes. You can't fully appreciate how good these look without holding them in your own hand and slowly turning them in the Sun's rays. Exquisite and spectacular are words that spring to mind.

Hopefully the following photos will give you some indication of just how amazing they are.

Please enjoy, Col

Col, you have really hit gold in those lures.
I can assure you, if you DON'T want to catch fish, you better not put them in water.
The gold flim Stingray and the Boney are bass catchers here in Tennessee, plus all other species. Our smallmouth bass really love them.
My hat's off to Ollie for great lures.

I walked past Ollie and Padgey's stand at the expo a number of times and there seemed to be a crowd there everytime, it wasn't till mid Sunday that I got a chance to have a good look at the wares on display....WOW!!!! you two guys do amazing work and full credit to you both for the accolades you get. Amazing craftsmanship, attention to detail and the finishes are TOP SHELF, possibly even rivaling those Japanese boutique makers...I dips me lid to you both Clap

Ollie, if you got it any better, one would have to get behind a tree to tie it on a line. The fish couldn't stand it.
They are already one of the best lures that I have fished.
 
Keep up the good work,
