A new phase in the evolution of the Legend Lures - written by David Theobald

A new phase in the evolution of the Legend Lures brand started yesterday when Roddy set off with the Hays family from New Zealand, bound for Florida. Roddy, Susan and the five Hays kinder have been living in Northland New Zealand for just over two years and Kerikeri has been the site of the development of the Quick-Change Pro-Range line of lures that are very different in concept from many traditional game lures. Roddy was able to closely supervise the production of heads and shoulders at a precision machine-shop in town and the area proved to be an ideal base to establish these highly successful lures. From a selfish point of view as his internet supplier, it was very convenient for me to have the R & D as well as the production facility just up the road from Auckland. It was also great having a good mate within close reach. I've spent many a happy weekend at the Hays establishment over the last couple of years. My main regret is that we didn't do nearly enough fishing but instead spent an enormous amount of time plotting and fiddling (or fergling as Roddy would put it) in the shed. I've learnt a lot about lures from Roddy and I'm an altogether more cunning beast for the experience.
Sod's law would dictate that despite taking delivery of upwards of three thousand skirts from Kerikeri prior to Roddy's departure, then the first order I received when the Hays's were still in the air was for a skirt I didn't have. C'est la vie.

Don't ever try that with racoons, folks
It is dangerous enough with moles (that's English moles)
and pretty damn' adventurous with lures.
