These were all the rage 15(ish) years ago. Can't find them anywhere now. Going to add these as I photograph them:

Yep.. this one has accounted for quite a few flattie. Bream didn't mind it either. This one is the Stretch 5+.

local tackle shop in Noosaville qld has them, could pass on details for you to contact them if you are chasing 1 or 10, Will have a look this week, they had quite a few not long back, my favourite was the bright yellow and orange with glitter 10+, got quite a few flatties, but what i noticed most was it got the flatties of a night time, and the only time ive got flatties late at night is with this lure...trevally loved it too.
Let me know if you want the shops contact details.

Does anyone know where I can get a colour chart for the Stretch 5+ and the normal 5+/10+?
This is my sole survivng Mann's 5+, rainbow trout pattern. The best pattern for me, on bream, was the orange and black one. I have never been very successful with this one. Maybe why it's survived as long as it has. I bought it when I was about 17,18 some 20,21 years ago.
Nicho, I'd love you to send their details!!!
Would be good if anyone else has any Mann's lures to put up photos as well :) I've got some nice ones arriving over the next few weeks that I'll be adding :)

Tas,
I am not sure who is distributing Manns now. It used to be Shakespeare Aust, but I think I heard that changed when they were taken over by Pure Fishing group...(damn they own nearly everything that Pradco dont ). Maybe a quick phone call to them will yield more details of who has them now so you can get your local shop to order them. Darbs |

Tas,
I sent you the details of the tackle shop through a PM.
Apparently the current distributer of Manns has dropped them,
whats left on the shelves, and what the current REPS have leftover is it for now,
with no firm yet to take over future distibution, if at all.
The tackle shop mentioned has 6 colours all in 5+
THE DOCTOR...green gold red black stripes.
AUSSIE CLOWN..gold, silver, red, black dots
GREY GHOST...silver/grey
PRICCILLA...pink,orange,yellow,blue,black stripes
BLK/SIL...black top silver bottom
SCARLET OHARA...dog di@k pink (just ordered these ones) last stock left apparently.

J M Gillies took over when Shakspeare droppped them. We bought everything they had left (LOTS) I think that was part of the reason Gillies never pushed them hard. Laurie. |

That's a bargain, I remember they were $20 and only the rich spent their money on Mann's.

not much use listing the Chartreuse Tiger depth set at $100 now is there
I remember those times as well Craig, 15 & 20+'s were $18.99 and you hated loosing one to a snag, but bugger me if they didn't catch impoundment Bass hand over foot Now the are on special for a tenner... that's depreciation at a new level |

Yeah.. $20ish dollars and as a kid I had to save for ages to get one. I had the orange and black tiger pattern and the yellow (what kid knows chartreuse???) and black tiger pattern and I cried when I lost them... try as I might I could NOT lose the rainbow trout one shown above... and I tried... $5.95 huh for the 5+ Laurie... If I shoot you some money do you reckon you could buy me some please??? Are they in the colour patterns you sent me or is the orange and chartreuse tiger patterns also there...
My first 5+ was a shadow pattern (black top silver body) and I destroyed it by soft plastics in the sun. It melted the finish off and I ended up with this puddle of paint and clear coat in the bottom of the tackle box. I could never fix it either. I tried letting it dry and it just never seemed to dry fully and then tried to sand it and it still didn't work... I ended up chucking it away... awesome bream bait.

the 5+ is a favourite for me, the boof bait range were a fail
(my opinion) the purple is a 30+ and small gold one used for timid Toga alway's keep a few on hand for bass, |

Mann's 10+ (top) and 5+ . Can anyone tell me what the black flank spot is meant to represent? The 5+ on the bottom is the same as my first black/silver one but none of the original ones had flank spots. Now they all seem to have them.

Ok... I didn't know you had done that. You Pm said to hold off ringing them till you got back to me so I assumed it was up to me to call the shop. Didn't know you had him put them aside. Will have to consult she who holds the purse strings.

TasV,
not a drama, its not gonna worry them, I will be in there on weekend, so can tell them to put them back up on shelf, I am pretty sure they were a lot more expensive than the others you ordered, so save ya dollars. Just wanted to make sure you didnt need more before I went back there. Cheers JASON
