My deadly family , custom made
That perch natural was super fast sink jerk bait ,
The chewed little 6 inch reef hawk was a brown trout , almost neutral slow sink ,best lure ever
Got a old photo of bradders with a 29 out the warren on his big reef hawg , he chinned it out as well!!
Only the second time I took him down there , get his own lift next time

[Andy Tighe]

They have definitely seen some action mate,,i will be giving the ones ive got a go at some point

[Jeff Kennett]

I think I'm correct in saying that the first lure is/was Paul's copy of the Bagleys B Flat. Aside from being one of the nicest people you could meet, I agree Paul is one of the finest lure makers in the UK. The quality of his lures is second to none. I'm fortunate enough to own over 200 of 'em.

[Andy Tighe]

Sounds like you have quite a collection of Pauls lures Jeff,why not put a photo up of some ,would be good to see

[pikerholic2]

Go on Jeff , my ones are to battered to show his spraying skills , I used to go and pick half a dozen lures up ( about a year late from order,) and just sitting in the motor , stunned at how good they were finished

So go on Jeff , please put some photos of his best examples

Best regards Martin

[Jeff Kennett]

No problem Martin. I'll take a few pics and put them up.

Borrowed a few of these lures over the years off Derek, great lures caught plenty of fish on them,

[Shiv]

Pauls reef hawgs were quality

[Andy Tighe]

Yeah Derek had a lot of fish on the Reef Hawg copies he had quite a few Bradleys in his box

[Shiv]

Yeah great lures, the hang time was great, remember getting numerous follows, put on a reef hawg, the same fish followed it, I paused the retrieve, it hung there then the pike absolutely nailed it.
