what the heck is the story behind this sale??

"That does it I have caught too many marlin...they must go!"...???

"You cheating bastard....I will have my revenge!"....???

"mowing the lawns is a much more enjoyable pastime!"...???

I still reckon there are more in Mr Rigby's cave.

Mostly quite large lures and most look they have never even got wet. As you say a very curious item. I'm not even remotely interested - I see the reserve is US$5000. However at US$860 (the current bid)..........

Captain Asparagus - Eat your heart out!!

Seriously - I'll bet that he's kept just 2 lures that work ALL the time.

Thats not a reserve. Thats a Buy it now price. He means if someone wants them without argument, he'll take 5K.

I am betting the reserve is lower. It still works out at around $20 a lure. I am just trying to work out how much to RIG the buggers ??????????

Impressive huh ?

Aspers Man, looks about half the number you had stolen from you last year.

Wow.!!

Imaging the skipper/deckies face when you rock up and announce "I bought a couple of my personal favourites along to tryout"

... crikey - think how much to get 'em rigged.....or at least say 20 rigged.

How many lures would our top NZ boats carry onboard...100-150?? I think Bill Hall mentioned one one article he had quite a stash onboard.

Grant, man oh man, your post brings back horrible memories of guys who used to turn up on the boat and ask you to run their lures.  Germans were the worst.  They had an awful lot of non-fishing time to read up and watch all the videos so they knew it all, and lots of money to go and order lures on the internet.  And yet, it was a hard lesson to learn and took me a long time but I have at last come to see the light, one of the best ways to get a good tip is to put out a client's lure, rod and reel or whatever, and catch him a fish on it. 

I will say of all the weird and wonderful things I've been asked to run, I remember one French bloke who brought aboard two "Conventional" lures better known as traditional Kona heads, the kind with the angled face and the scooped nose, they were hand crafted out of tropical hardwood and skirted with these funny metallic-beaded skirts.  He had fished in Abdijian (Ivory Coast) and I think those lures must have been made there.  At any rate he insisted on running these two.  That style of lure is supposed to weave under the surface a lot, but these ones spent most of their time spraying water like a tube.  Guess what, his lovely niece caught this dorado on the one that we put out on the short rigger.  Pleased as punch, he was.  You can see the lure in the photo.

cheers - Dustin

Geez, he actually does give Stu a run for his money but at only 250 hes still a couple short.

Owwwwwwwww, Dustin! Mate, that is a bad picture!

I mean, yes, the young lady is certainly very nice, she could fish on my boat any day, but lordy, you gotta take those pics before the poor fish is as stiff as a board!

Interesting looking lures though (see, I can be charitable). Glad to see it worked for the guy, however, after you caught him a fish on it, did you get to replace it with something you liked more?

cheers pal,

Stu.

thats the sort of thing you could get a group of people together to split the costs and buy them all and split them up.
