Thank you very much Mick. Just had a quick look and I believe you are spot on regarding the 1st and 2nd lures. Martin, there is a light oval outline between the belly and rear hook hangers where there may have been a sticker (or I'm imagining things). Just tried to photograph it a few times but can't see it in the photos. Originally thought it was a Killalure popper but the shape seems wrong. Really keen to find out who made the third lure down...

Maybe some more pics from other angles might assist. The green and yellow is a beaut, the bars resemble the Edwards lure in tbe attached pic ( borrowed from the Edwards subforum ), the eyes similar also but I wouldn't put my pay on it. Too good a lure to sit in the unknown

Cheers Mick, here's some more pics. Note, the eyes are painted and the bib has a crease down the middle where it was bent into shape. Overall, it's a very well made lure, just need to find out who made it..

Debbie was not to know because they look very similar but the popper is actually a Killalure from
around 1987 ?  I acquired a few popper bodys when I had Killa,s for sale in the shop, hit em with
a quick and easy paint job and sold em cheap. End of story Smile

The little red eyed lure under the popper. It has a familiar look but can't place it. Maybe a couple of
bib profile pic's might jog my memory ??

I'm starting to think of that guy from El Arish - near Innisfail? It's looking a lot like the one I had.

Zinc-anneal bib, that may narrow it down.
