Here is a few Sure Lures for the group's perusal , made up in the Atherton Tablelands region as far as I know . I'm sure some other members will have more info . Perhaps they could have their own sub-forum Tony ???

Mick, the last lure in my pic is a Howie lure, made by Howard Rankin - the pre-curser to Sure Lures. He is also the maker of Sure Lures. They are lovely lures, I'd like to get my hands on more.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

My couple. I have some smaller ones as well in the boat somewhere. They swim really well.

Plastic is for storing lures, not making them.

Might be an early one, the bib is set back a fair way compared to a lot of these.

I have quite a few of these in mint condition. If anyone's interested I can post a pic, trade for HH's in 4" colours I don't have, or other timber Aussie NQ makers I don't have.
Regards, Seaweed.

Your old man certainly produced a vast array of top quality lures in the NQ style. Hopefully Tony will create a section for them in QLD Lures.

A mate picked up 3 lures at a garage sale recently, look like early Sure Lures. They all have open trebles and no split rings.
