Hey all,
Looking for the discontinued Rebel Spoonbill in the trout pattern (grey on top, pinkish tint on the sides) with the "G" finish.
If anyone has any of these laying around, I'd be willing to take them off your hands.
Email me at-
GullGuide@wallyeyecentral.com

Thanks.

Would that be with the "yellow eye" or the "pink eye" ??

Oh man....
I'd have to go out and look.
It has the smooth glossy finish...not like the ones that are still available. It has a greyish scale pattern painted on under the Gloss.
I'll look and let you know.
Thanks

A lot of the early G-finish lures had a problem with the finish falling off with use. Gander Mountain clearanced them out a number of years ago at $1.87 a pop. A couple of us happened to hit the sale on a trip back from LBDN and picked up a couple of hundred lures. The first time we tried to use them, we discovered the problem. The more we used them, the better the lures worked. We finally got to the point where most of the finish was off and the lure body color was a "bone white". They were outdoing everything in our tackle box. We spent several hours in the room that night with a knife trying to make some more just like it. After all that work, most of the "doctored" lures ended up with a "brown" lure body underneath and they didn't work worth a darn. We called Pradco to try ordering just the "bone white" lures w/o any finish but got nowhere. They did offer to replace the "defective" finish lures which I'm sad to say we did. The newer ones were never as good as the old. I kept a few of the original "bone white" ones and gave them a shot of orange paint on the belly. They work great.
