Hi there,
There are many good
reasons to add a fishing lure to one’s collection.
It can be because the
lure is rare, because it is a really good fishing lure, because it has a story
attached to it or because it is a present from a good mate.
Well this lure is
ticking the right case in about all of the above…
The lure is a Leads
Lures, handmade in Queensland, Australia, by Terry Leadbeater. And yes it is made of timber. People, who love fishing lures, know both, how
good these are at catching fish, and how hard it is to find them in the
Territory. Despite still being produced today.
My first Leads Lures.
This lure has a story
too.
Jason bought the lure
around 1997, just north of Cairns.
Then went fishing land
based from the rocks, when on his second cast…
Hooked and landed, his
first ever meter plus Barramundi on this very lure!
The metery catcher.
Many keen anglers would
keep the lure that caught them their first Barra over a meter long as a precious
relic. Some would even send it straight
to the poolroom. But no, not him, who one day gave me a call saying: I am
cleaning the shed, come around with a plastic bag, I have a few lures for you…
And there I got my first two Leads (among many other lures); this was one of
them.
For someone like me, still
dreaming of catching my first metery. It made me wonder what I would do with
the lure that will on day, help me to do it…
But more importantly you might have now guessed it, this was a present from a good friend, and this, makes the
lure even more special to me.
Thanks mate.
I wanted to add a Leads Lures to my collection for so long.
Look at how beautiful it is:

Yes, I know, this lure never again will swim...
But hey, it could be worse.
Have a good day,
Me.

My name is Damian and I am the owner/editor of Fish Down Under Magazine which you can view here - http://bit.ly/U2DEZz
The magazine differs from traditional magazines in the following ways:
It is free of charge.
The magazine is fully interactive and is integrated with social media.
Has the ability to play videos inside the magazine itself.
Companies that supply articles or videos for the magazine get a direct benefit by readers being able to click directly through to there website.
Published in full HD quality.
Made specifically for the Ipad.
This is a very new market with industry experts predicting that the technology will over take traditional magazines within the new 2 to 3 years. We are offering you the opportunity to get on board before the rush.
What do we Want?
As I stated earlier the magazine is free of charge. What we are asking is to be able to use the content that you already publish online. It doesn't matter if it is in the form of an article or video as we can publish both. In return if we publish any of your work we will include a link from the article / video to your website. So a person can be reading the content and if they like it they can follow a link to your nominated site.
So basically you don't have to do anything. Just allow us to use the content you have already produced and in return we provide you with a lot more exposure than you would normally get. The magazine will be a monthly publication to start off with and if we can put together enough content we might make it fortnightly. It will include all of the usual topics but if we can push it out more often we would also like to include as many localised fishing reports as possible.
If you are at all interested in being involved with our magazine let me know by replying to this email. We can then possibly make a time to discuss any questions that you might have.
