Just a few more lures... : lures & flies

Hi there,

A few days ago, I was once again, very very lucky, and got a call from Rossco, asking me if I was at the office...
Of course I was, and I went on the parking lot to let him in.
He came carrying a big box of lures...
With some real treasures in them.
He said that he was clearing the shed...
:idea:

Made me want to open a business of shed clearing...
:wink:

I got a bit sick, nothing serious, but this is why it took me so long to post about it, and why the photos are just quick snaps.
Just to give you an idea, and make the people among you who loves lures, dream a bit...
:wink:

This is a more than generous gift, and I am now in the process of cleaning and restoring them to make them look good.
And soon you will be able to admire them in their full beauties.

There is a few home/hand made ones in there, which are great too.
Also, I am at the moment trying to ID some of them, that I had never seen before.

Any way have a look at that!

Have a good day,
Pecheur

P.S: one of the photo shows an Aqua Rat with a bib similar to the Goulburn Jack's bib.
Does any one know if the AquaRat ever had this bib straight from the factory, or if this is a home made customisation?

Yes Pech, there's always been an Aqua Rat with the heart shaped bib, I have heaps of them, they are a real good lure.

Good score Pech, some very nice old lures there, a few nice old wooden killalures, remember using them a few years back, still have some without any paint left!! never got round to repainting them!

Hi there,

Blinky: Thanks for the information, Yes I was told that the AquaRat was a very good lure, but I have never tested mine... Too afraid to lose them. And this mean that they used to come in at least 3 different depth.

Agent 86: Yes this was a nice gift, you can be sure that this is some lures that I will take care of.

Googz: Do you collect lures? If yes, show us some.

Have a good day,
Pecheur

The gold timber lure with holographic sticker is one I made around 13/14 years ago..
So is the blue lure with pink belly/ black eye - from the same vintage..
Not real happy with rossco giving them away.
Guess that’s what you get for leaving cr.p in your old mans shed.

Hi Bandit,

Sorry to hear about that, and I don't want to be the reason of any family disput.
Just give me an address (PM) where I can dropp them back and I will give them back to you, no worries at all.

Have a good day,
Pecheur
