**This lure is brand new handmade in Joe Yee's shop and came directly from him. All of our Joe Yees are 100% authentic, and most can be shown with a photo of Joe Yee himself. We get all of our new inventory directly from Joe Yee and not from other individuals - All inventory that did not come from Joe Yee himself will be otherwise noted with "Pre-Owned" in each lure Title.**
The Apollo is widely known as Joe's most copied lure. Many fakes are out there, so it is difficult to make sure you are getting a truly authentic Apollo without knowing the source. Thankfully, this right here is 100% hand made by Joe Yee himself. This lure has likely caught more Marlin than any other lure Joe Yee ever made, originally created in the 60's.
This particular head has two real golden Mother of Pearl slabs over the insert with a set of white and red google eyes - **The red googly eyes are a little misshapen (the red eye is not flat).**
