The original lures were all made from Western Red Cedar with the shape formed using a wood rasp and then sanded by hand to a smooth finish. Getting the perfect lure shape turned into a passion for my father, and I watched him spending hours shaping, sanding, and testing lures. It was important to get the right action and swim depth in the water for the lure to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Predator Lure gradually evolved into the current shaped lure, and before long my father had built a copy lathe which made almost identical lures and production became easier. He made the 90mm wooden lure for about 7 years, and then added a 75mm wooden lure as well. Then around 1990, he changed production to a plastic injection mould.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving to the plastic mould created some new challenges, and it took a while to get the plastic lure to swim with the same characteristics as the wooden lure. But they have succeeded and developed a loyal following amongst Victorian locals. My father still proudly manufacturers and assembles every lure himself, and only sources a couple of components from offshore that are not available here in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the only hard body lure that I use of this size and type. No doubt, as we do more video and more blogging for you all, you will see the successes that we have on these lures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cuzzybrosfishing.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/predator-lure-elvis.png\")
