Legend Lures by Roddy Hays 12" Iduna Vintage New Old Stock

Handmade 12-inch offshore trolling lure by Capt. Roddy Hays, one of the final batches he produced by hand

The Legend Lures Iduna is a 12-inch vintage New Old Stock handmade big game trolling lure crafted by Capt. Roddy Hays during his time in New Zealand. This batch was nearly finished before Hays was forced to leave the country when his visa expired, making these some of the last lures he produced by hand. The Iduna features a front and rear taper with a 90-degree face, producing a stable swim in calm to moderate seas with a medium dive and long bubble trail. Runs best from the riggers.
