Meet the Makers
Here are short biographies of our makers. They pretty much all know each other so a number of them may have contributed to one lure.
Name: Peter Newell
| Bio: |
Peter started making lures in Dubbo, NSW in his early
20's.
Unfortunately, none of those original lures survive (actually none of
them survived their first fishing trip). However, Peter went on to design and
make many classic lures, such as the fabulous Scorpion and the
magical Kadaitcha. |
