1950 fishing lures Collection of Painted Wooden and Metal c.1940 Creek Chub 1950s wood lure

Ideally, the rod will just load up and the fish will hook themselves on the large, dangling trebles

Circle hooks wont work if the fish is coming directly at you, so if that is the case, take a few steps to the side and pull against its mouth at a 45-degree angle

The Revo is a reliable reel which will last the angler a long time, especially if used in freshwater, it has a solid line capacity and 8.1kg of drag which is more than enough for any application of freshwater fishing in Australia

The German Silver shines up really well but I like them with black paint and patina, The 3rd reel shown is the 2nd version Fortesque , No 103 ,250 YDS
