Martin asked me to revamp a few lures for him at the last expo,
Before,


And After,



I will send them off to Martin in a few days and hopefully we will see some fish caught on them.

Cheers,

Gavin

I got the urge to restore a few I had laying around at the same time, no before photo, my mistake. A couple of these needed replacement bibs and some plastic surgery but they came out well.


Cheers,

Gavin

Super job you have done there. Be a shame for Martin to go and chuck them in a tree!

Cheers TB

Got these lures today thanks Gavin. The finish is outstanding and totally blew me away. I’ll add them to my tackle box though it’ll be hard to see them chewed.
