    What's vintage abalone, and why is it better than, say, fresh abalone? Just curious. Good lookin' lure...

    Purtier than a Petrolero

    Cappy,

    Beautiful! Now, turn those skirts upside down and you will have a Petrolero that is even hotter looking than the original. Then make sure that the Mex guys get a look at it. That baby is gonna SELL down there! You're going to have to beat the Mexican crews and Bajo gringos off of that puppy with a stick - A big one!

    It was made about 30 years ago.It is a veneer but much higher in quality than anything you can find.Thicker and very consistent.I would not say it is better,I have my best luck with mirror heads.Any abalone veneer works,but when magnified by resin this stuff is the shit.Thanks.
