Our beloved FL has a problem. He has won a lure and can't decide what skirts he wants on it. I have a cupped Iduna head waiting for its finery and an almost infinite variety of skirts for the poor befuddled chap to chose from. Please help him make the right choice  ------------- Random musings on all sorts of things http://obaldnz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://obaldnz.blogspot.com/

Like most of us, he doesn't need any lures so any colour scheme will do. The more unlikely, the better. Failing that how about a mean joe green, as that's one apttern I don't have. ------------- Be yourself; everyone else is already taken |

What about putting a hook on it? ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

hooks are for sissys...the new craze is to tease the marlin to the transom and the angler simple jumps overboard and grabs said marlin between the eyeballs with ones dentures....honest! ------------- I am Kermit, Leader of Muppets Nov 05 |

So that's what Lethal was up to, he was doing a Gollum on the snapper or a passing kingi.
Given the amount of squid in the water this year, surely something squid like would be appropriate. And I don't mean sunglasses, a pint of beer and a wicked chuckle. Either that, or choose a colour that you don't already have in the 300 or so lures already in your possesion.

Maybe we should have given Kerren one of these Obie, instead of a bloody lure that he can't make up his mind over !!! duh....

PS: mind you, if I pooed a Hubert the first person I would call would the good doctor Theobald, that's for sure.......and it would take more than a couple of peanuts and a bloody purple light to repair me !! ------------- http://www.legendlures.com - www.legendlures.com

I'm seriously worried - outbreak of Saladfingers in Alderney. Roddy, old chap, make sure the wife and kids are safely out of harms way and don't go near the milkman. FL is much better off with a cupped Iduna - and he's got no show of getting a Legend Lures company vehicle either. ------------- Random musings on all sorts of things http://obaldnz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://obaldnz.blogspot.com/

not to worry Rodski....have already put in a request for a "Salad Fingers" tee-shirt with the Mistress of Finances for the next b'day.... What skirt combo does the manufacturer recommend for a cupped Iduna then?? apart from soot and poo that is...although that isn't a bad name for a brown/black over orange combo..... OK...made my mind up.....Obie a "soot and poo" please. ------------- I am Kermit, Leader of Muppets Nov 05 |

Is it true that Legend Lures are now available in NZ from a place known as Milford Cubicle?

�t's just that yesterday I was in love. My physio, who is a gorgeous irishwoman (I am such a sucker for a lilting Irish accent) is also a very keen fisho. We swapped stories of fishing and her favourite catches are trevs and kahawai. Likes eating them as sashimi as well. I didn;t dare ask her if she drank speights. Could have found the perfect woman.
Jober as a sudge FL. I have found that heinous painkillers and steinlager don't mix all that well. ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

Bender, If the Physio owns an outboard motor and can fillet fish marry her! I was curious to know the difference between heinous painkillers and steinlager ? Hope you're feeling better soon. Cheers DA |
