Each lure has an elongated shape typical of soft lures designed for sea fishing, with a tapered body ending in a rounded head. The striped appearance, alternating bright red and black, gives the set an attractive visual effect designed to stimulate the aggressiveness of predatory fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe original blister pack, still sealed, bears the Bluewater Runners identification label, as well as handwritten mentions \"OCTOPUS\" for the name, \"OG1008\" for the code, and \"QTY 2\" for the quantity. The mention \"Made in Madagascar\" is clearly visible on the blue cardboard card, accompanied by the brand's stylized logo representing a billfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lures visible through the packaging have a shiny and flexible finish, imitating the appearance of a small cephalopod. The heads are decorated with an eye circled in white on a black background, a typical detail of imitation lures for sport fishing. The alternating stripes along the entire length of the body accentuate the effect of movement underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis original, vintage-looking packaging suggests manufacturing prior to the 2000s, with no certainty about the precise decade; the graphic style and presentation are typical of fishing accessories marketed in stores in the 80s-90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is presented in transparent plastic, showing the new condition of the lures, with no signs of use or visible alteration on the front. The period packaging, with the handwritten price tag in francs, reinforces the antique and deadstock character of this accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

Soft lures imitating cephalopods are sought after for trolling or casting, particularly to target species such as tuna, bonito, or sea bass. Bluewater Runners, distributed in the 1980s-1990s, was one of the rare brands to produce this typology in Madagascar for the international market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping.
