Re: High Financial Risk Fishing
George Perry caught his record bass on a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish or a Creek Chub Fintail Shiner. I wonder what that lure cost him? Is it possible that bass have become so spoiled that they now require you to subject them to sticker shock to get a response?:rolleyes:

[QUOTE=HURRICANEBOB;401652]My boat is getting so old and worn out that if I put a $50 lure on it, it would double the rigs value.
Wait a minute, good idea.......putting lures on the boat to raise the resale value would be a lot easier than recarpeting the !@#$$%!@#$# thing.[/QUOTE]
Lol. I am with ya on that one. If I put one of em on my rig, the motor would blow just out of spite.

[QUOTE=Fntsyfbgod;401584]If you want to see high risk check out Megabass lures. Everything they make is $25 and up. Your throwing a $25 lure on 10lb line. At least with swimbaits you can use 25lb or more.[/QUOTE]
Megabass jerkbaits are the best I have ever used. Yes, I get a little nervous when I start bumping rocks, but I still haven't lost one - had a couple close calls.
When I was working some at fisherman's headquarters in Draffenville I sold a couple of $100 megabass topwater baits - they were hand carved and hand painted, I would say they are sitting on someone's mantle, I seriously doubt they have touched the water. They didn't even look like they functional lures - but I would guess they would catch fish somewhere.
