I got a Bomber and a Whopper Stopper Bayou Boogie - - from Woolworths many moon ago! Although I think they may be cheaper copies?
I am currently waiting for some Kynoch type lures which are being made.

Was trolling a Kynoch Killer for bass only two days ago. Still effective the old lures! I have some larger versions of the same design. Made by Jensen if my mind is true?

These are Kynochs - except for the name! Copyright etc, - custom made/painted.
There was a similar type but with a different name on that auction site late last year. About 25 were sold. Cannot recall the name tho!
Found a Jensen on that site - it's called a ""J-Plug"". They made one of my favourites - ""Kwikfish"".

Just looked and these are marked Luhr Jensen on one side and "J" Plug on the other. So Olly was spot on They have an unusual bead chain hook mount with a single large treble that hangs amidships. Possibly designed as a salmon trolling lure?

That's exactly what Kynochs were designed for dragging behind boat!
Other lures are now using that rig - it is used to prevent the salmon levering the lure out of it's jaw.

Ha, I’ve got one very similar to that. Blue in colour. Not a clue to it’s manufacturer or even how it ended up in my tackle box.

Re- using old lures, spinners and spoons.
In an auction lot I won a few years back I picked up some old lures which I have tried to clean and re-attach barbless trebles to.
I probably won't use them but they're there if I want to.
Some of the other older Mepps, Vibro.
(ABU) Record Favourite Weedless spoon
Homemade Copper spinner.
I love the crude look of this lure, and a simple Brass spoon with just a swivel and treble attached to it. (Below)
