Title: Aussie Lures Deck of Cards?
Post by: Sweetwater on August 05, 2012, 10:32:36 PM
I recently bought a pack of playing cards showing old american fishing lures 0 -52.

I got to thinking, if we were to make a pack of cards showing old Australian lures, what would be the 52 to put on them.

What do you think?

52 Classic Australian Lures

Good Idea Fitz, I know a cheap printer...

Dale, jury is still out on the King Codder being actually Australian made I and a few others have suspicions that they came from the US and were packaged and marketed here by DK Union in Melbourne. I have one that was described as a "MACK DADDY WOBBLER-FISHING LURE" from the US. The only difference I can see is the bib has a more golden hue than the silver hue on one sold as a King Codder.

Will add to the list though,,,

OK, I'll go with Tassie Devil, Wonder Wobbler and Hog Back.

Dale, in the highest traditions of modern law, there are a group of peers to make sure everyone doesn't go to the dark side without good reason.......they are called lure collector forums  :))

be good to see what everybody puts forward as candidates for collector cards  :GoodPost)

If we come up with a list of 52 & can get a picture of each, I'll look into getting an artist to draw them & then into getting a deck made.
