Several years ago I came across a post about State of Origin bite backs....sh eeet they blew my small mind away...within seconds I had PM ed Ollie thinking they were his...Ollie put me on to the correct maker...FUGLY LURES=Chris Sinclair,,,I Pm ed him straight away to see if he could make some for me..I was lucky as he said he would,,so I got some made.When they turned up at 2pm I opened the parcel just sat there looking dumb founded,,,my son comes home at 3.15pm I am still sitting there unmoved looking & shaking my head...with a lure in my hands,,I managed to say to Mitchell here mate have a look at these freaky critters....1 hour latter we are both just shaking our heads,,,saying how twisted is this maker....we did not have a answer to that question....now years latter my collection has swelled some what I am still blown away by Chris`s skill at making lures...I finally met the man at the 2013 lure expo......& now have that answer to the question that I first asked....Chris is indeed a twisted man...very twisted but thank Christ for that because it comes through in his work...& now I class the man as one of my friends....so here is what I have managed to collect so far....a fair selection of Chris`s work....I have told my son that if the house burns down while we are in it to save your self because I will be to busy saving my lures....Chris go NSW 2-1 this mate....my turn to win......

Yep the guy is a legend! Hopefully one day i'll get the chance to get up to this expo and meet some of the minds behind the lures I see on this site.

Those bities were the first lure that really just blew me away, I remember thinking how the hell does one person get that much talent and creativity?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've since bought a couple of his lures and had every member of Bass Sydney looking like a warner brothers cartoon, eyes popping out all over the place. 
Looking at your collection it seems I should buy a few more. There's a few there that I am drooling over. Bugger now i'm going to have to buy yet another keyboard! Damn you!!!! LOL

I definitely rate Chris's lures up there!
Just for his creativity and also because he is just one of the nicest guys, always smiling!

Keep up the good work mate!
Cheers
