I remember seeing a plastic Downunder Boomerang for sale on Ebay a while ago with Vic's name written along the top. Can anyone tell me the story behind it? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Shane.

Shane, they had McSea printed on the spine. Apparently the colour scheme was suggested by Vic.

It was a colour scheme that Vic "designed" for the "Downunder boys"
and as recognition they put his name on them.
Not sure how many models were painted in the colour scheme, (I have a couple) 
Would like to see what is out there.

I have a lure similar profile to top one with a different bib and tow point.
Camera batteries flat so will try to post photos tomorrow.

Have these lures any value??

I think this colouration is referred to as 'bleeding mullet', quite a few makers use it now.
Adding to what Cranky said, nice to see you Mike, looking forward to saying g'day at the Expo.
Regards, Seaweed.
