Lure prices kind of makes meal worms, crickets and minnows seem like a lot more fun

All species of fish will eat a nightcrawler, literally.

The problem with a $20.00 lucky craft live pointer is they are only good for a few days. I have 4 of them sitting on my desk that has no rear end with brand new looking heads. The bait looks awesome in the water but they come in half very easily. Never lost one from line braking but then again they don’t last long enough to do that. I use them on Lake St.Clair in the beautiful clear water and they work great all the way until boom they are done. I don’t know what they make the wire from but I think sewing thread would be stronger.
I stared long and hard at the $49.99 bait but could bring myself to do it. Although I must admit I did have it in my hands 3 times but I kept putting it back. Backwaters had some in the case that were $89.99, if I could pull my boat with a Honda civic than I could afford one maybe!

Sweet more big swimbait fish for me. I got several swimbaits I paid $50-60 for and they are worth every penny. Most are in the 20-30 range. If your afraid of losing them you dont need to use them. And dont forget you will have to buy a new rod to throw those things. Some I have run up to 5oz. But expensive baits are nothing new I can remember a $30 square bill crankbait Basspro tried to sell for a while. Didnt last long.

Besides if you think $50 is outrageous check out the 3:16 lures site. The Born Again costs $175. Thats too high for me.

3:16 Born Again - Dark Trout = $185.00 USD

What did they do, pack the lures butt with diamonds? Did you buy one of them? You need somebody to shovel the snow at your house? I'll do it for $15,000 a sidewalk................................
