Both good lures uncle
and when I lived in Karratha in the 80s both of those knocked over many species. I can't remember now what the top lure was called but the bottom one is a Sea Hag. The top one I think was a Cotton Cordell lure?

Could you use nail polish to paint them up, or would the smell put fish off?

there both cotton cordell lures the top one is the BIG O
that's all there was really until Rapalas came on the scene, the sea hag was a great lure, still is,trouble was macks etc used to put holes in them so you had to have your araldite with you for repairs

After some investigation I think the top one maybe a Striper Striker. Whatever it was called it caught fish.

Big Zero, no macks on that
Big Zero, no macks on that lure (perfect paint)
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

You are hard to convince Graeme
Have a look here, size is as I recall it, certainly not freshwater.
