"Hens teeth" springs to mind!
Lovely things to find unused. The two little ones at the bottom really caught my eye! Perch lures?

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Unusual little things with dorsal fins, aren't they. Can't say I know them at all.Luckyluca wrote:"Hens teeth" springs to mind!

Re: Abu lures
The body shape suggests they might belong to the sub-genre known as "jerkbaits", but I've never seen any quite like them either.Caractacus Potts wrote: Unusual little things with dorsal fins, aren't they. Can't say I know them at all.

Re: Abu lures
A bit small and early for jerkbaits, I would have thought. They are more a North American thing than Swedish, but who knows.

Re: Abu lures
Those are in the "un-named" batch, so I suspect they're neither Swedish or from the 1970s! I'll ask a mate who knows about such things and see if he recognises them.

Re: Abu lures
Ah, many apologies ! You could be right then as the bigger plug on the left above them with the X-Ray bones looks like a Heddon lure, so they could well be American as well.

Re: Abu lures
The 2 bottom ones look like a lure that was called the 'Klatter Kat' it should rattle if you shake it, i bought one of these in about 76 i've no idea how or if it works as i lost it first cast!!! There were several companys making this type of lure, i remember the Klatter Kat because i saved up to buy one and then to loose it instantly still grieves me 35+yrs later.
The yellow one above them is a copy of the Heddon River Runt and the top one is from the same company, both were sold in Woolworths.
The 2 green pirk type lures are ABU copies again possibly from Woolworths.
The other with the cut away jaw i've seen them before but just cant put my finger on what they are or what they are copies of.
