Re-finished 24 ct  Lures

  This topic has always fascinated me as it is always been  human nature for some to try to strive for improvement over the last known mark, be it in production or performance ...even when the the present results are good. Companies can do this and individuals also...and for vastly differing reasons!

I am already working on completing my 24kt Gold Collection of Classic ABU lures below.

I figured if the ABU  Toby and Krill deserved to be gilded then all other metal ABU should too!

So when a double ABU metal lure turned up, I could afford to re-finish it in gold, but it would  happen gradually over time.

Some of first ones are to be soon shared here.

I have decided to merely re-finish one of each type and ignore size/weight variations.

They would be stripped of hardware, like split rings, swivels and hooks to avoid distracting from the display.

I hope you enjoyed seeing them here. Sorry they are not for sale,  and justified  for my enjoyment...more to follow...

I have so many now, that they need to be re-sized to fit  2 columns of 250 pxl  hyperlinked to larger 500pxl images.
