Charles, they are not sea lures but are 'Pig' jerkbaits intended for pike fishing. Almost certainly ones made by Gordon Griffiths Co. (or Ace Lures as they turned into when Gordon retired and the business was split between the fly and lure sides). I'm sure they would have been made sometime in the 2000's.

They were very prone to the paint flaking off them, even without the attentions of pike, so if in mint condition they could be collectable (if not right now then one day....)

Should John Milford see your post I'm sure he can provide more detail
