Always popular is the lure test tank. Available to all exhibitors so that they can show you how their creations swim, it adds that extra dimension to your purchase. I mean, how many times do you get to see how the lure behaves in real life before you part with your hard-earned cash? Just quietly, getting instruction from the person who created it is probably worth as much as the lure. There’s nobody who knows how a lure behaves better than the person who made it.

SOCIAL MEDIA HUB • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Want to catch up with some of the guys and girls in the Brisbane River Valley, it first migrated downstream to Ipswich after a couple of years of seam-bursting crowds. From there, Ipswich seemed to be a great fit for the show, which attracts around 2000 keen anglers and lure collectors each year. The trouble is, a multimillion dollar renovation was granted to the Ipswich venue, and the show needed to move again. There are a few things that the show needs to work. First of all, camping for exhibitors is a highlight for the tight-knit community of creators. Free parking ticks the boxes for attendees who want to maximise their spend at the show, and a fair gate price (around half the cost of a national boat show ticket) of $10 keeps the gig accessible to nearly everyone – especially kids, who are free. After several months of searching, the show landed midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It will be held at the Beenleigh Showgrounds on

The Beenleigh arena is a little different from Ipswich; there’s less indoor space, but better outdoor space. As of the time of printing, all of the indoor stands were sold and the outdoor sites were filling up fast. Being a little more open than Ipswich, there’s now room for a fly casting demonstration and trial area, some outdoor carving and sanding demos, and even room for some boats at the Social Media Hub and Presenter area.

On the Sunday, the Beenleigh Markets will be in full swing, so parking will be limited to the street. But there’s still plenty of it. If you’re getting there via public transport, then the

For that unique gift for the angler in your life, be sure to check out the OG Reelbots range which will be available on the Lively Lure (stand 50). Using reels and reel components, these quirky handmade sculptures each have a personality of their own, and will be a definite talking piece sitting in anyone’s pool room or office desk.
Hillies Spinners and Lures
Jollip Lures
According to Jim at Jungle Lures (stand 15), for him there are only two types of fish: barra and by-catch… unless it’s jungle perch (his other passion). His struggle to access quality barra lures led him to create Jungle Lures. After much time spent in research and development, and twice as much time out testing, Jim is proud to bring his range of handcrafted wooden lures to the Expo. They have been very successful on a range of freshwater species, as well as his beloved barra. Stop by the stand and be sure to check out the Jungle Water Snake. There will be some great deals going on these lures to celebrate the Expo’s move to the Beenleigh Showgrounds.
Jollip Lures (stand 48) is a family owned and operated business based in NSW’s Northern Rivers. Joey has over 20 years’ fishing experience and has put everything he’s learnt into crafting his lures. The Jollip hand crafted timber lure range has been proven to catch most fresh and saltwater species. Be sure to check them out at the Expo, where they will be releasing six new models to their range.
Muggos Lures (stand 17) are back for their third Lure Expo. Paul brings with him 13 different models of tried and proven lures. In 2019 Muggos are proud to be launching three new models, including the PeeWee, a small diving lure for bass and golden perch, the Midnight Menace and The Marshall. Check them out for some very successful and wellpriced handmade lures.
Muggos Lures
Ninja Lures
One of the very few female-run lure companies in Australia, Ninja Lures (stand 40) have been around since 2013. The Ninja crew have a range to suit nearly every angler’s needs, from cod to barra to collectables. At this year’s Expo you’ll have to be quick to score yourself one of their limited Ninja Turtle Sets, and while you’re there you can also check out the new release Kermit sub surface lure and Prawn lure. They will also have aluminium lure bibs and DIY lure kits for those inspired to give it a go themselves.
OG Reelbots
Grumpy Lures
Cod anglers rejoice! Chris Anderson is bringing Grumpy Lures (stand 16) to the Expo. Alongside his more traditional lures, Anderson will also have some of the more unusual designs he has become well known for. He has developed an extensive timber and hand-moulded range of lures which can be used to fish both fresh and salt water. Each style of lure has been thoroughly tested by experienced anglers to ensure a premium product. Chris’ motto is: ‘Lures should be fished – not collecting dust on a shelf!’
Stop by Hillies Spinners and Lures (stand 24) to stock up on quality spinners and other lures in a range of styles and colours. Neil uses top quality components from the US, including Eagle Claw Hooks. Custom lures and trade enquiries are welcome. For something different, you’ll also find a range of sun catchers, key fobs and Hillies inspired jewellery on display – something for everyone.

1-2 JUNE 2019 • BEENLEIGH SHOWGROUNDS
For more than 30 years Lively Lures (stand 50) have been one of Australia’s leading hard-bodied fishing lure manufacturers. At this year’s Lure Expo they will be bringing with them their best-selling flathead lure, super effective surface lures, top rated mackerel lures and their award-winning GT lure.
Bringing his full range to the Expo this year is Don Lobwein – the man behind Lobby Lures (stand 27). Don started his lure making career in the early 1990s with his son David when they worked out they were losing too many lures at Glenlyon Dam and needed to replace them all! The lure making bug well and truly bit upon Don’s retirement in 2005, and he has dedicated a lot of time to perfecting their design. All Lobby Lures are hand carved from aged white beech and red cedar. Bass, yellowbelly and cod are all prime targets for Lobby Lures. 2019 LURE EXPO MAY 2019

Balista Lures (stand 76) are an Australian owned lure company most known for their LED technology, which features in every lure in the range. Since developing this technology in 2008, the team at Balista have spent thousands of hours refining their product range, constantly looking to create innovative new designs that would be highly effective even without the LED technology. Visit the team at the Expo and find out how matching the right Balista lure for the situation can generate strikes when nothing else is working.
Anthony Curtis started making handcrafted lures in 1993. AC Lures (stand 45) timber lures were pioneering in design, with a unique shape that allowed the lure to fly straight through the air, giving precise casts without sacrificing the action of the lure in the water. With the exception of the Minnows and the 40 and 60mm Invaders, AC lures are constructed from injected plastic, which enhances durability, and all ranges use the highest quality fittings, laser-cut Lexan bibs and VMC hooks. AC offer 10 lure designs from 40-150mm, and depth ranges from 3-40ft+ to cater for the popular angling species such as Murray cod, golden perch, trout, redfin, bass, bream, flathead and barramundi.

The team will be running demonstrations across the weekend, explaining the whats, hows and whys of lure making. They will also have their range of lures available, handcrafted out of red cedar.
Southern Cross Lures
Kneller Lures
Lure Expo Hall of Fame inductee Paul Kneller has been making lures since 1992. Kneller Lures (stand 41) has become well known for producing small runs of often highly detailed timber lures. This means they are able to do something different with every batch and rarely make the same lure twice. They make everything except for hooks and split rings in house, which gives Paul the flexibility to work on anything from a tiny 45mm bream surface lure one week to a 250mm cod wakebait the next. Kneller lures are built to be fished hard.
Trickys Lures (stand 30) are based on the Fraser Coast. Mick has been making his own wooden hardbody lures for decades and over the last couple of years has been experimenting with soft plastics. They’ll be bringing their selection of handmade soft plastic lures, hand painted hardbodies, powder coated coloured jigheads and a range of fishing gear to this year’s Expo. The crew from Basslyfe will joining Trickys Lures on their stand. Basslyfe was created by bass fishermen who live the #basslyfe. They care strongly about our waterways and the homes of our native fish. They offer tips and techniques for targeting specific freshwater species, stories to inspire your next fishing adventure and information on all the gear to help you get out there. Be sure to stop by for a chat about all things fishing!
The team from Whiptail Lures (stand 46) have been busy getting their range of handcrafted timber and moulded lures ready for the Expo. Their lures are suitable for a wide range of salt and freshwater species. They’re looking forward to debuting their new JB95, which is available in a wide range of colours for both salt and fresh. One of the many Lure Expo success stories, Crossfire Lures (stand 36) began when Simon had a goal of developing a surface lure to target flathead. He took himself along to the Lure Expo and found a lure maker willing to help him with his vision, and a few months later Crossfire was born. Since the first 110mm lure was developed, the range has expanded and has become a series that is fast gaining a reputation as a big fish taker and a favourite amongst keen anglers.
For super realistic designs, visit Frequent Flash (stand 39). They are a small family run business specialising in Japanese style realistic presentations.

Brisbane’s HM Lures (stand 51) specialise in handmade and custom painted lures. Their motto is “if you can dream it -we can make it”.

Terry Baker at Farm Creek Lures (stand 26) has been making lures for approximately 10 years. His handcrafted timber lures are specifically designed for freshwater fishing.

custom poppers in sizes from 80-160g. Bommie Knockas have proven themselves all over the world by comfortably handling GTs in excess of 40kg. If your scene is the pinnacle of topwater fishing, and you like the idea of a lure that won’t just land you one trophy fish, but a dozen or more, then a Bommie Knocka is the lure for you. Barambah Lures (stand 60) will be showcasing a limited number of handmade timber lures, including the Manic Budgies, Barambah Dragons and Divers. In 2019, Matt has expanded his range of production lures significantly. There are seven new models due to land in July and samples will be available for the public to see for the first time at the Expo. You’ll also be able to watch Matt at work as he will be doing wood carving demos on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, focusing on Dremel tools and intricate lure carving techniques.

The club will be representing Queensland Sportfishing and associated clubs in South East Queensland. Funds raised by the club go towards supporting the stocking of Wyaralong Dam (Beaudesert).
Since the very first Australian Lure Expo, Fishing Monthly (stand 13) has always collaborated with an Australian lure producer to create a limited edition collectable Fishing Monthly lure. This year’s lure is a limited edition No.1 StumpJumper. Dan Stead from Pimp My Lure has assisted by creating the colour using the Fishing Monthly logo colours. JM Gillies then produced a limited run of the colour for the Fishing Monthly team to give away as part of a special subscription offer at this year’s show.
