Full Scale Lures lives on
September 23, 2012, 09:13:29 AM
Hi all

I am pleased to announce the sale of Full Scale Lures to Kyle and Jasmine of Jaks Lures

To say I am stoked about this is an understatement, as many of you know I put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the development of Full Scale and to see the brand continue is just great.

I have no doubt Kyle and Jasmine will produce a first class product worthy of the Full Scale badge, I will be available to them for ongoing support whenever needed to ensure the strength and integrity of the brand continues to grow.

Please be patient for the changeover of website etc as this will take a while

I hope you give them the same support and encouragement you all gave me, I'm sure there will be some great things to come from Full Scale Lures in the future  ;)

Thanks Chris,

We are acutely aware that there are some very big shoes to fill at Full Scale to keep the lures up to the exacting standards they have been held to by Chris.

Both Jasmine and I have been in the lure trade for a few years now producing low volume hand made skirted lures that have been growing in popularity each year so hopefully some skills will translate to Full Scale.

As Chris has pointed out there will be a transition time before we are up to full production as we have to develope our workshop amount many other things so bear with us.

Kyle & Jasmine

Kyle
Congratulations on the acquisition. I think our members here are all very pleased to see that Fullscale lures will live on.

If it swims; I want to catch it!

Kyle - will you be producing the Sidewinder stick bait as well the chuggers?

If so, any ideas on timeline on the Sidewinder?

Cheers

G'day guys, we are in the process of building a workshop devoted to full scale and hope to have it up an running before mid year. We have been learning the ins and outs of painting and wiring but we will not send out anything until we have achieved the same quality as chris achieved.

Mark as far as the stick baits go it is our intention to do the sidewinder and stick 250 in the future as well as releasing some small poppers and pencil to service the Victorian bluefin tuna anglers.

When we are nearing the re-release date we will make an announcement hear and on the web page.

We are also looking at some new colours as well but we need to concentrate on the processes in the mean time.

Well done Kyle and Jas!!!!!!

through using your skirted lures and seeing the super high standard you apply to those that Full Scale will continue to be a brand of the highest quality!  Any plans for some of your resin pouring skills to make it into stick baits by chance?

Hey John, I am doing some research and development into the possibility of using polyurethane resin in sticks and the small poppers and early signs are encouraging but the differences in specific gravity are significant and will require further tuning/testing. If they get off the ground I will select some regular anglers to do field testing in a variety of locations.
