Hoping some one may be able to help me out. I lost my favourite LUCKY lure on the wekend to a stripped Marlin. I have tried google to locate one and various local shops. Alas I cant even find a picture of it so cant give it its proper name.
 Its a 6 odd inch bullett head Pacific lure, It has white and pink triangles within the lure head, the skirt was pink and white with metallic tassle inside the skirt. 
 I am hoping someone knows what I am talking about and can post a picture, so as I can place an order with killwell if they still make em?
 The lure hooked a YTF late in December and then the Marlin on the weekend and hence it was my LUCKY lure right up untill the leader broke at the hook and it sank to its final resting placeAngry
Cheers

 Cheers but been there done that, No help as these are the NEW range of lures, if anything the Lure I am trying to identify is similar in size and head profile to the tuna tickler but with the tinsel teaser skirt configuration

UMM sorry I dont have one to post, throw up some photos of the lures you have and I will see if it amongst them? then someone with a wealth of knowledge can tell me what it is called.
Cheers Wannabe, hope this isnt an imposition, but I  am keen to try and source one if possible,  just need to identify model and name of the lure

Cheers krow  but  the head of that lure seems more like a small bait fish where as the lure I am after has a rounded bullet head, it also has/ had more tassle in the skirt.

Sorry Saltiga I cant compare it to any of those lures as I am not familiar with them, it is similar to a zuker head but not the one with a groove in the face? if that makes sense. Damm I wish I had taken some photos of it....... but I never expected to lose it BOO WHOO!

Bit worried about your Priscilla cross dressing techniques... but hey in this day and age homophobia and metrosexuality rules...Wink
 
Oh and I s'pose you wear BA's stockings and underarm when you go fishing too.LOL

The lure at the top right is a Pacific baitfish with silver flash - this is a flat head, though

joe yee apollo, moldcraft widerange, bonze angle faced tube lure? Canyon gear make a really pretty lure similar to a big blue cavitator that we run on LC with good results from time to time.
