Got this today and thought it was a Nicel Humpty in the bigger size than the black one I posted previously.

Sounds like it won't like being fished off a harbour wall then Barry!
Where do these names come from?
I guess if or when mine ever get finished they will have to be called Realistic #1 or perhaps Unrealistic #1  etc

That's a Nicel Humpty. Is it timber? Or is it the newer plastic ones I've noticed are slowly beiong released? If it's timber, it's in top condition and very well done!
 
Looks to be a Ck'n'Big model. Make what you will of the name, that's what the biggest Humpties were called.
 
I like Humpties59
Painted sticks with hooks sure, but they are oh soooo nice!

Stephen it appears to be wood but sometimes hard to tell these days when the seam is sanded off.
The owner said he has had it for years and never used it.

That is awesome then. Great lure and very jealous. Well done.

I'd say keep an eye out for a Nicel Yabbie but I don't want anyone to get one before meLOL.
Something about Humpty Lures65

Show us more as you get them please. Because I know you'll get more!
