Re: Favourite Discontinued Lure
There’s probably a viable business opportunity for someone to do good quality replicas of discontinued lures that had a bit of a cult following. With laser scanning and 3D printing it wouldn’t be that hard to get moulds made up.

Re: Favourite Discontinued Lure
A lot of the best cod lures that were made of timber instead of the plastic moulded they use now, codseekers, muldoons, stumpjumpers, oargees

Remember using in late 50's, early 60's - Large Flopy in Murray and Little Murray around Swan Hill - Were killer lures for Cod & Yellowbelly - Orange / Yellow mottled pattern = Small Carp // Green mottled pattern = Frog.

There really is nothing else like them around today.
I still have a few, use them, and are in my top 5 all time lures.
The original Mitchell spinners were also brilliant lures.
