Got this big bugger off ebay, caused a fair bit of work finding out what it was & a bit of history about it, this is what I learnt. Made in 2000 by Bruce Kilpatrick for the Payless Timber company of Cairns, only 20 were made & they were given to friends, family & to large orders, most were fished hard for mackeral & have been chewed up as a result, this one seems to have sat in a tackle box & not been fished too hard if at all.SORRY HAD TO UPDATE THE MAKER AS I AM A BOFF HEAD....Richard is 100% correct it is a BK lure made when Payless was Cairns based... |

Mate keen to find out more on this one, as i have the identical lure, colour, shape and all, only mine is missing sticker although you can see that it was there originally there, was told these were a BK Lures, and looking them up i can see the BK in this lure but, have never seen a Ron Gallo in this shape and even Ron's eyes are way different. any one else know any more? cheers
