ebay and try harris angling.

Harris angling no longer around mate,sue sold up and now has a eco-tourist place in central america,my mates been over a few times and fished with her.

Still going with different owners but not lure orientated any more just another general shop now with the usual fox and savage gear stuff

Yup,i cant remember who bought them out,i do remember salivating over the catalogues when they came through the letter box,all those pages of incredible lures and they sold a great selection of micro-rods and reels,they were before their time,or rather she was as my mate said she was the driving force behind the company,but they are happy in the sun nowadays.

They were incredible catalogues,i remember holding my first yo-zuri lures when the postie dropped them through the box,harris angling only sold quality,i can only imagine what their catalogue would have been like now if they had still been involved,sue ran a lure fishing forum for a while.

Your not wrong , they had their own mean jerkbaits and rods to use them way before company's like fox even thought about doing them and I remember them doing meadow mouse lures and crazy crawlers aswell . My last order from them was a load of their own brand and northland spinnerbaits , never caught on one but had a lot of follows on them . Sue Harris used to be a guest on total fishing on pieces about lures so your mate is probably right about her being the driving force behind them

Friendly fisherman is Andy lush , he used to do a lot of the proper jerkbaits but seems to be moving more towards the smaller stuff these days . He bought the et brand out a while back and did a cracking range of rods with Gordy aswell as tools , alarms and terminal tackle . The shops over in the states have way more choice and are cheaper for lures , I used to order from jackson lures over in the states and even getting stung by customs it was well worth it

I love the musky mania squirrely burts , he's one of only 3 places over here I can think of that still sells them . I've done alright on the Bucher depth raiders aswell and also shallow raiders

You can get both rigged and unrigged . I favour unrigged shads ( manns action shads are good by the way) so I can adjust the weight of the jig head to suit the depth of the water and also the wind on the day . Agm is probably the cheapest place for jig heads from size 12 to 7/0 . I use 1 to 1/0 for 2 - 2,1/2 inch kopytos but you can use a bit bigger if you wanted . Be careful of the kopytos on eBay , half of the ones I've seen on there are nothing of the sort and it's just chancers trying to cash in on the kopyto name Edited January 7, 2016 by neil r

Had a couple of shallow raiders loved the flat profile and big eyes my first lure caught pike was with a 5 1/2 ft south bend trigger grip rod with a salmo jointed whitefish in mackerel both bought from friendly fisherman caught some numbers on that combo.
