Anyone know the name of this lure?

Post by codhunter1978 » Fri Sep 02, 2016 11:31 pm

Hi Fisho's
I am wondering if anyone can identify the lure below?
I used it regularly for trolling Murray Cod, and with success, until the tackle back met its match on a deep snag it grabbed onto. As it was 'river treasure' (found it floating down the river) I have no idea of who makes it, what it's called or where to look for a replacement. It was a large lure, approx 220mm overall length and had a distinct angle in the bib.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. And sorry photos are poor quality. Had to grab the stills from my go pro.

Halco or oar-gee would be my guess. I've seen that exact lure in shops ages ago but can't for the life of me find it online

It does have an oar-gee look to it but the bib is unusual - is that centreline marked on the bib or is that the tow point wire ? hard to tell from the pics. If it's marked it may suggest it's a custom made lure ....

There will be guys over on lurelovers.com that will be able to identify it in a heartbeat if you want to know for sure

I've found an almost identical codger lure online except the eyes were on the opposite side. I'm still gonna guess codger.

Thanks for suggestions. The centre line on the bib was a tow point.
Might try the guys at lurelovers.com.
Cheers.
