On a prompting from one of our members that I  showed this lure to I sent off some pics to John Collett and got some good news back.
He said it was one of his very early Handcarved lures he made quite a while ago.
When I get a chance I will visit him and see if he can put a timeline on it.
I have had this lure for possibly 5 years now and always wondered about the maker.
Length is 180mm











The Journey is the Reward

Nice work Barry, it's great to see that one finally identified - I spent a fair while riddling over it myself! Smile
Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

Nice old lure Barry. The eyes and the H on the bib are normally a good indicator. I picked this lure up a couple of weeks ago with the same eyes and H on bib. regards Ian
