    Posted: 19 Dec 2018 at 9:52pm
A “Heads Up” to all members.

It has been brought to my attention that the following (or similar) information / rumour has been circulating of late:

It is said that I stopped lure making in 2008 and any Lucinda's after that were made by my son. It is questioned the last lot of my lures I had for sale on eBay were made by my son and not me.

That’s absolute bulls**t, my son has never had anything to do with making Lucinda Lures nor for that matter has anyone else.

I closed the Lucinda Lures business including its website in 2010 due to health problems including my heart (6 bypass & a couple of stents) and hands riddled with arthritis. In actual fact I offered the business to my son prior to closing but he wasn’t interested.

I’m at a loss to understand why anyone would dream up such lies bordering on defamation. I don’t believe it could be personal. Perhaps it’s intended to reduce the value of Lucinda Lures? If so, it’ll certainly adversely effect the value of all Lucinda collections.

It is very disappointing that someone in the lure fishing fraternity would stoop to this sort of bastardry.

Should they continue they could very well be required to front court.

Cheers Lou,

Just bung ' em in the water mate & hang on !!

I am sorry to hear that Lou.

Fortunately it has been quite a while since I have had to deal with any lying thieving scammers on here, although please let me know if any have snuck back in and they will be dealt with swiftly.


Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

Probably could Mick but my info came second hand so I’m uncomfortable to involve my informant who’s a good mate .
Personally I don’t believe in feeding a troll which is usually inclined to exacerbate the situation or encourage the idiot.

Thanks for the support Mick.👍

You have my sympathies Lou,there seems to be an element of "bitch"amongst the lure collecting community who get thier jollies by making other collectors and luremakers miserable.You are right not to name and shame as that seems to be what they like
that's no how ye make porridge!

Seriously.... where is this world coming to?
Even something like lure fishing can't be left alone by the characters we walk amongst....
Sorry to hear Lou

Important that sources remain un-named if that is their wish .
At least the rumours were brought to your attention and you had the opportunity to adresss them in a public forum .

There are crap people like that in every section of the professional and recreational fishing industry. That is one reason why I stopped writing fishing articles.
