philB Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Soft bodied French made lure. Lip moves up and down a bit like an Abu HiLo. No other ID apart from the word 'France'. Any Ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcleod Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Phil, If I didnt know any better I'd say that was a Floppy lure made by a French Company named Rublex. If you type in "Rublex floppy lure" into google you should get heaps of hits. Quite a collectors item I believe especially if it is still in the packet.

diemai Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 @ philB This lure model is called "Floppy" , French made and obviously widely available in some European countries during past decades , .......I have seen some on local fleamarkets here in Hamburg as well ! Also saw it pictured and briefly described in a German angling book issued in 1977 , so it must have been quite popular by that time ! Obviously also known in Australia , ........you may sign in on My link to learn more about vintage and collectible lures(and view heaps and heaps of lure pictures) from mainly Australia , but also from all around the world ! greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
