Not sure about that one, but
Not sure about that one, but its very similar to one of my favourites made by Lively lures called a Mack Bait. They are a great lure that will going on catching fish forever unlike a bibbed minnow that sometimes want to pop out of the water and not track correctly after one fish. These resin lures can be trolled at high speeds, which is also good when your sounding for new ground. When working bait schools and bringing up nothing, I would stop the boat and let the lure drop down and then take off quickly, this would often bring the Mackies up.

mack maulers have large , raised name molded into side.
See at rear attachment point , you can see the clear resin, thats a scooby doo.

Scoobs Lures - Western Australia;
Made by Chris Scobles. Models include the 'Seaducer Rooster', 'Interceptor'. These lures are moulded and could be purchased from Mo's Tackle in 1997. Unsure if they are still available today. Lure shown is the 'Interceptor'. Heavy moulded offshore bibless.

Yeah they are great lures, hold in water an great life span. That pink one has caught hundreds of kilos of macks commercially.
Just googled those tips boys. It's a scoobs interceptor, cheers mj, spot on.
now the big question, anybody got any in there box they want to sell!! Can't seem to find them anywhere in the net. Think they not made anymore.

Looks a spitting image of an Elliots' leadhead, lure from the nineties. Used to catch well, could pull all kinds of tricks like slowing and letting it sink deep, then accelerating to lift it, would catch mackerel in the middle of the day when they went quiet.
It's funny this should come up now, I was thinking of dragging out all my old bibless, like those and the Masta Blasta- a Pilbara-ite was telling me about this great new Halco lure called the Giant Trembler :-):-)and how well it was catching--I just fell about laughing, I was towing them off the Exmouth coast through the nineties as well, they were never as good as the other two. I'm sure they'll all be there in a bucket somewhere.
We used to tow the Masta Blasta at 16knots between stops, only lure I've every had that would stick at those speeds--actually hooked a sail like that once, didn't that drag wail before he jumped a couple of times and threw it :-)
