This is a collectors edition that was the owner Jorma Turunen the inventor of the UKKO personal lures .
These are original pre Rapala probably late 1990 or early 2000.
These are the original hand made and hand painted

The original inventor was a fishing big pike and musky . I think these lures can work on most species from freshwater to salt water ( peacock bass)
These would work in Canada or Florida
UKKO do Not make the big lures anymore and they are owned by Rapala .
These were in a display. There can be handling marks from the hooks and are old stock . These are around 30 years old .

I ended up with the 7 pieces set .
