There's a double clutch colour that got discontinued that was meant to be the bees knees. Can't remeber what is called now.
phantom would be my guess, have some presso's in it and it's one of mine
Compleat in Bentleigh had Presso's in phantom last time I was there.

There’s probably a viable business opportunity for someone to do good quality replicas of discontinued lures that had a bit of a cult following. With laser scanning and 3D printing it wouldn’t be that hard to get moulds made up.

A lot of the best cod lures that were made of timber instead of the plastic moulded they use now, codseekers, muldoons, stumpjumpers, oargees

Tylo - Made by Spinwell New Zealand - Brass/Gold with red slash on underside - First introduced to me by Doug Ristic (RIP Mate) and his brother Alex in the very early 70's - Only Lure we ever used / use on the Goulbourn River no other lure compares.

Found them earlier this week and grabbed what they had in the Presso. Had some other older daiwa lures too

Remember using in late 50's, early 60's - Large Flopy in Murray and Little Murray around Swan Hill - Were killer lures for Cod & Yellowbelly - Orange / Yellow mottled pattern = Small Carp // Green mottled pattern = Frog.

There really is nothing else like them around today.

I still have a few, use them, and are in my top 5 all time lures.

The original Mitchell spinners were also brilliant lures.

Best Wishes
