Title: Abalone Collection
Post by: Luke Ryan on August 10, 2012, 02:29:33 PM: Hey Guys

I'm really getting into collecting "Abalone" GT lures. I have got around 12 lures in total now and really love having them displayed on the wall in the fishing room!! :)

Is there any other members on the forum that have their own Abalone Collections they are willing to share

Here is a few new ones that I had rock up today.
Hammerhead Tobi 123
Hammerhead Cherry Pai 200
Hammerhead Sharapoa

Here's a few nice looking ones which you might not have seen before. Some are real shell rather than tape.:

The SS ones look great. I got my hands on a SS Glans in Abalone and it looks awesome!!

Those Hammerheads look great in Abalone!

Getting it to lay down nice over the hip on the Tobi would have taken some time to master... May the collection continue to grow!

I really want to share my abalone collection! Can I send the pictures to somebody with more pc skills?

Thanks in advance

It was Sam from Reel Appeal Lures. You can google him but ultimately you'll end up on his Facebook page for most up to date info so you might as well go there straight up.

Cheers
