Blitz Bagas
(1/1)
Sweetwater:
Here's some Blitz Baga's. Made from cedar by Murray Sudgen at Ipswich. Similar to the Flicks Cobra, the Blitz Baga gained a following among bass anglers in the early days of lake fishing. Today they remain a lure many are compared to.
The shape/name was handed over to the smak stable & are now made from eurathane or plastic, not sure. The first one I tried was close to an original in action & depth but the few others since just wouldn't swim properly & got lost; haven't replaced them.
Botton right hand one in the group picture below is a Moogerah Special.
Last pic is one still in its bag. :thumbsup
Binder:
Gee looking at the tiny amount of wood under the bibs, that would take some skill (or an awful lot of swearing and chucking in the bin!)
A Marshall:
Have had the same experiance Fitzy, origonal lure swam well & caught fish. After loosing it in Boondooma I bought a new one & could never get it to swim properly.
Cheers Andrew

Here is a couple of Murray's very first lures he made, approx 25 years old and called a Bass Baga which I assume is where the Blitz Baga came from :youbeauty
