Some time ago, I bought a handful of white, raw, 'garfish' blanks off Dave.

I sent out some of these unpainted blanks to a cross section of Lure Lovers members that create and paint and challenged them to paint them up for me in Parramatta colours (yes - self confessed blue n gold tragic). Cry

I am humbled at the responses and the quality of the workmanship - you know who you are - many thanks guys.ClapClapClap

Just wondering which of you out there can correctly identify the painters.  Shocked

A - being the original blank.




Presently making up a 3D shadow frame to hang them all up in my Nauti room...

Very nice idea for Pearcey's blanks its really cool to see the makers works on the same lure then put them together like this.
Please show us when they are finished and boxed up

HA HA Dave, that's my nick name from years ago - so first inLOL. That 1002 mm, just over the meter mark, was at Awoonga Dam. Why didn'y you continue on with that lure Dave? I've caught barra, jacks, queenies (little) GTs, tailor, flathead, toga, sooties, tarpon, a near 47 cm jungle perch and probably others that I have forgotten about on it. I reckon it with take all the mackeral species and many tuna speciers as well.

Well they were popular for those wanting to paint their own, including my failed bananas. So there may be a niche market there depending on the economics of cause.
