How Much Did That Lure Cost

[Rivverrat]

 I've Hardly ever been stunned when it comes to the price of quality when it comes to my fishing stuff or what others have paid for theirs. But this lure....So what did you say it cost....& your throwing it where.

but... it's a Roman!

I'd rather have a new Avet... or a Phoenix... or a Fathom... or just about anything. 

And all that for a 10-lb fish??

For $400 I could get another Phenix/Fathom combo. But if it would guarantee a bunch of 10# LMB I might spring for it. My biggest LMB is 6.5# and a few bucket list fish would be nice.

Did you notice he said he buys Izorline because it's cheap.  $400.00 lure and he uses cheap line.  Dominick

My lures are made from off cut PVC, some used stainless wire and lead I've had for 20 years.    Without hooks and rings they don't cost more then US 40c each and they catch plenty.    The PVC and the wire comes mostly for free, the latter I get from used electric fencing.  
OH, I forgot, some get a bit of spray paint from an aerosol can!

Sure, first going fishing this morning.
You will be very disappointed, they are made to catch fish and are not pretty to catch anglers.....LOL

Some of the bass guys out here are serious as a heart attack and would gladly plunk down $400 if they thought it would give them an edge. A lot of big bass here that primarily eat planted trout. Alan Cole made giant trout plugs by hand and they went for serious money (well not $400) back in the day and a lot of trophys were caught on them. Lake casitas is by me, someone pulled a 20+ LMB out of there several years ago. To each his own I guess

The local Delta tackle shop next to me in Oakley gets in Japanese made $200+++ realistic balanced tuned plugs and they fly off the shelf.

Not my cup of tea.

I have a problem paying $5 for a Rooster Tail or Panther Marten.

Usually buy them in bulk when needed -- on sale -- and coupons.

That is just me I guess...

A tool for everything...

Best,

These plugs we use for mainly Yellowtail, but any game fish will take them.   You need to wind them fast so they skip over the water making much splashing and commotion on the surface.  These have been used that's why they are a bit bashed and paint does not hold on the PVC.

[sdlehr]

When you first said PVC, I was thinking PVC pipe, which didn't seem right. Where do you get your PVC blanks? Is this their intended use?

Thanks.

Always interested in seeing catches with huge plug's!

I'm speechless, $400.00 for one lure?  Only seriously top tier LMB tournement fisherman would buy these.
That and 75 mph boats.
