I started collecting lures seriously 6 months ago. I had no vipers at all and after discovering them on this forum I have fallen in love with them. I found them very hard to come buy in the beginning but I feel I have been very lucky and after some finds I have amassed a collection that many will envy. I have some gaps to fill and you feel you would like to move them on, please let me know. The occupy the Top Shelf of my cabinet as I think they are just that. Although I have never met Shane I have a huge respect for him, I can't wait to me the man.
So here they are, only 1 large timber with the metal bib in less than mint condition, but I love it. The rest are 3 and 2 inch Vipers with the Lexan bib and a heap of the molded ones with some on cards in mint condition. I'm a happy man but happy to find more. These two pics here, are the ones Shane made me last year when I told him I couldn't get hold of any of his old lures, it seems once I received these the flood gates opened to me increasing my collection. |

Sel im not a collector of Shanes lures but do have a couple left that I have had much pleasure fishing with.
One of the graet pleasures I got at the last lure expo was meeting Shane and looking forward to the next and sitting down with a coffee and a chat . And Sel love your collection Cheers Graeme |

One of my latest treasured Finds, this color seems very rare. Shane mentioned that it was a special order, he thinks.
This one is too good not to share, |

Sel, that recent timber is a beaut, I'm looking for one to add to my Aussie timber makers collection. Hopefully I'll find one at the Expo in the Traders area.
Looking back at your pics, the one I have in 2" Bass, is slightly different. Has red/black eyes, are you interested in subtle variations? If so I'll bring it down as a trader. Seaweed.
