hey guys,

been breamin on lures for over 20 years,but the other day dug out an old one.

i can only remember that this lure used to slay 'em [along with with the rebel crawdad].

does anyone know what this lure is called?for web 041.jpg

When i was first introduced to lure fishing for bream we pretty much only used rebel craws. They were awesome. Love the crawdad colour. I have no idea why i still haven't bought one since i got back into lure fishing, but it's on my to do list.

still a good lure, perky.

its the damned-est thing you know, i used to pay $14 for a rebel craw back then.so these new o.s lures aren't that badly priced when you think about it.

still no takers on that lure above? might have to contact the godfather,he'll remember the name. the missing paint tells a few stories.

cheers

Yeah i am sure there still awesome next bream fish i am going to get one and give it a swim. I suppose when i got back into fishing there was all these new wizz bang lures. It's true that lures don't catch fish, they catch the cash in my wallet.

And i have no idea what lure that is, but it looks like a few bream down your way know it by first name.

Thats an old Downunder Min Min one of the models they did when they when to plastic. Classic lure had a few and sold them to a guy who collects lures but think he wasnt completely honest about the price he paid for them i have since found out.
Anyway were killers on bass as well

Would highly recomend not giving it a swim, you may be shocked as to what it is worth even in that condition!!

I will direct this post to a mate and see if he has and indication of price.

The MinMin name comes from an Australian aboriginal word meaning “something that deceives by luring�

Being plastic their not as collectible as wood, I still sold one in good condition for forty bucks, that lure often wouldn't swim properly so their a plenty out there with good paint jobs if it works OK I'd still use it.

never made in wood.

MinMin was released in 1989

Downunder had their manufacturing subcontracted to Alan Dolan and Peter Howard of Lively Lures who produced lures in expanding urethane resin

well i'll be jiggered! i thought it was wood, but as usual i would be wrong. a closer inspection shows edges of a mould.

thanks for the info

cheers

Looks like its got the 'dolls eyes'. If so its worth a considerable amount. Have a look on lureandmore.com for more info on it. there are a couple of guys there specifically collecting these lures.
