Rio's Lures
This is one of a few lure Rio made to cast for Trevally and Barra. I don't think it was ever named.

And this is one of his Poppers. Both of these were made with a polystyrene body covered in soft silicon. The same as his Live Fish range.

Re: Rio's Lures
Yes, the Rio Prawns are still being made. Available in most good tackle shops up here. Rio lives near Tewantin. The prawns make a pretty good bass lure as well. There are quite a few copies around these days, but none measure up to the original.

Re: Rio's Lures
I picked up one of the GIANT Rio's prawns in one of the discount bins at the MO tackle shop when I was in Coffs Harbour. Laurie has posted on this before - at 150 grams - THAT is a prawn!!!

Re: Rio's Lures
I don't think Rio still makes these. I've got about 3 of the poppers, and only one of the minnows. I use them for Bass quite regularly, and they produce fish.laz wrote:G'day Dale ithat Rio's popper and Barra bait . Never seen them before does Rio still make these models .
