Well I got VERY lucky, a kind gentleman in Cape Town sold me 3 BNIB lures for an undisclosed price.
Problem is I dont know whether to fish them or frame them.

Actually I was going to open a new thread comparing the legendary Onde to whats available currently. I know the DUO Pressbait is quite popular. Are there any others?
 
Rapala lures
Live target
Also get yourself swimming minnows the minnows swim while you retrieve..these are all fantastic lures. But they are abit expensive all depends on what you going to target..

Plenty has been written about the Onde Onda lure, its disappearance & it's successor or imitations on the market & lures made by DIY enthusiasts.

Save some money & do a Thread search if you intend buying some imitations to test & compare to do your research.

The current Onda lure distributed & sold by Kingfisher & the Fishstick by Greg Kellerman is the closest I've seen.
Though the swimming action of the Kingfisher Onde not being near the real deal,
but it works, that I will testify to. Suppose it's the added action you as the angler render to it during retrieve that helps alot.

Then I have bought some Onda's "look-a likes" or "Fishsticks" from lure builder Greg Kellerman of East Coast Angling guides (Swindler lures)
They look awesome, swim very good & do produce the goods.

There are many other excellent custom lure builders in South Africa & once very active on SL.
It will actually be great to hear from them & see if they still active & get to hear & see their latest products & maybe get a glimpse of their Onda "look a likes".
 
I've seen some Onda Onda lures on ebay going for $20 if ur willing to pay but it's expensive..and another problem is getting them imported here..thats also extra money..but ja that's lure fishing.
