Manage to get few "very-hard-to-get" lures. Thank you very much for those who involved. You know who you are.

Native-Works: Napalm 200mm (90g), 220mm (120g) and 250mm (150g)
Very effective lures and without a doubt one of the most popular lure in the world at this moment. It is highly sought after and extremely hard to get as production runs are very few and far between. The finish is incredible. Beautiful hand crafted lures. Love with the action, with a generous sweep of the rod, the most amazing bubble trial is left behind, while the popper stays sub-surface and zig zags in the most erratic "s" pattern you will ever see. I partner it with EP and TBL series rods.

Carpenter GT-γ(Gamma) 140H Mid Tuned
This is another supply of non-regular production model lures!
GT-Gamma 140H 'Mid Tuned' are newly tuned GT-Gamma to action between regular model and H model.
Easier to action than others in a range particularly when fishing from taller platform like front deck of game boat.
Bodies are from 4-5 years ago with aluminium finish instead of current hologram (that was what they used back then and we know many people still love them!). Using previously made materials and also for their research purpose. Available in two colours - blue silver and purple silver. Recommended hooks: Gamakatsu GT Recorder 5/0. I used EP82/42 and TBL 80/40 to get maximum action and bubble trails.
