Hi,
I was just after a certain I.D on this lure. I think it's a Ploppy by Peter Newell but not 100% sure. i bought it when i was a young fella and just cant remember. any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Pat

It certainly looks like a Plopy.

Is it hard or soft (as in rubbery)? If soft, can you feel a hard block in the centre?

I'm sure some much cleverer fellas here will give you a definite answer.

fitz..
