Only trouble with Chinese lures is it's like Chinese food, you buy one and a hour later you want to buy another.Smile

Any Brand Of Lure Is Only As Good As The Fishermen Using It.

Hi Guys My name is Kim and I got a stack of Asian Lures that I don`t have a clue where they come from, But it scares me to think of getting rid of them.
Here are my Sure Catch Lures I think from the seventies
I know the name sure catch is still around and I think distributed or owned by Wilson But I have not seen these on the shop floors any where Do They Still make them ?
Or are they still made under a Asian Brand and the Wilson Sure Catch no longer do them ?
I suppose I mean do I fish them or put them away for 500 weeks ???



Cheers Kimo

I'm pretty sure that Sure Catch lures are still around. Those ones are mostly from this century, 90's at the earliest. We've all used them as they made reasonable copies of well known lures. Always in the "Special Bin" at tackle shops... Wink

Thanks Ian
Yes you would be right about the 90 s Don`t know where I got the 70`S from.Cool change here today, I must still have a heat hangover
I looked up Wilson and looked at their lure range, they still displayed Sure Catch products but I could not see anything that looked like these and I haven`t seen them on the shelf's down here for years
and yer they do seem to swim ok so it looks like they will get wet
Thanks
Yer I got 2 of those yabbies
Thanks Guys
Cheers Kimo

Funny you guys should mention 'AA'.
Reminds me of that old joke, 'fella is finally coaxed into going along by his family, enters the meeting hall, approaches the front desk, first thing the organiser asks, 'NAME' LOL.
