Hi all, interesting site. I caught the fishing bug bad at about 7 years of age, drove everyone nuts to take me fishing. I have a fond memory of my father taking me to O`Reillys here in Melbourne and telling the the man behind the counter how i would not stop talking about fishing. We were invited into his office were he opened his desk draw and took out 2 lures which he said he was keeping for himself, put them on top of the table and said pick one. I caught fish on the lure for years before i lost it and could never find another. The lure was called a Doodle Bug hence the profile name.

DB

P.S. If anyone has one i would like to hear about it.

There was also a novelty lure called a doodle bug that you inserted a tablet into and it was self propelled...
