kanny 20,266 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 A few retro lures. The abu droppen blades are my favourite in this lot deadly on trout chub n perch 3 Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Here's another two that are old. The ABU was the first soft-tailed lure I'd ever seen and I actually caught a good few perch as well as jacks on it. The spoon about is a cheap 'Toby' copy, that runs higher in the water than a true toby due to it being a slightly thinner., cheaper model. However, this was my number one pike lure for a long while. I did some serious wading in to rescue it on many an occasion. Being you and mega keen i used to get the brasso out and polish this lure every time i was going fishing, it really did sparkle and I caught plenty on it, though nothing huge. I wouldn't use it today as I'd hate to lose it. Daft getting sentimental about lures, but maybe one day it will bring back some memories when I'm too old and infirm to actually go out and fish myself...... Quote Link to post

jonnie bravo 572 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Those diddy little Abu spinners are the mutts, think they are called Droppen?? Always loved fishing with manns, bagley, rapala and salmo plugs. Solid build quality. Quote Link to post
