so i got an E-mail from the club about a swim bait "Roman Made Mother Custom Swimbait" this thing actually cost $407. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Roma...MMCSB.html

i could never imagine paying that kind of money for just one lure. just seeing what your input is on this and what's the most expensive lure that you have bought?

There are always people with too much money and they can't throw it away fast enough. My opinion? Stupid!!! The most I have ever spent on a lure is @ $15. And only once!

Well, I think that is a new record for something which is actually intended for use. The use of Kurita's name may part of the deal since he caught the huge bass in Japan.

Most expensive lure I've ever gotten is about $12, $407 is just stupid. For that kind of money you could buy an aisle at Bass Pro. And honestly, if you pay $400 for a lure, it should find a fish, bring it to the boat, fillet it and cook it on the spot or else it isn't worth it. I would be interested to know how many of those lures have been sold though.

I think I'll order two. LOL

And get some scuba gear to use to go after it when it snags up and the line breaks.

I would have to go with what skewl said thats is just stupid,i have a hard time paying $8.oo to $12.00 for them ...

Finally...something everyone can agree on...$407 for that thing is a joke! You would thing with a price tag like that you would get an incredibly realistic paint job...just look at that rainbow trout pattern...sheesh!! I have paid up to $30 for a lure, but that was for my vintage tackle collection.
                                     

Yeah mo they don’t really look all that good. I don't get it so are they that expensive just because they are hand carved. Cuz it sure isn’t the paint job and the rest of it just looks like every other swim bait. The most that I have paid was for a live target top water frog witch is like 12$ or something. There is no way to justify 400$. Why would you get that when you could get a real nice rod and reel? Or about 60 to 70 normal swim baits. I’m kind of curious though on how many they have sold though.

Boy Howdy! Did you guys check out their economy model? It's only $84.99!!! http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Roma...RMMRS.html

Hey Mo65, dBarnett ought to be wealthy with his hand carved lures eh?

Yeah very reasonably priced for the economy

Your links working there mo

Yep b or b...if db put a pic of one of his crankbaits on here...he couldn't whittle them out quick enough! And Bassman...thanks for the help with the links...think I got it under control now.
                                                                             

HMM! $407.00 I think I'll pass IMHO it's just not worth that kind of money. not even close!!!!

Heck, the one with another joint is $8.00 more ($415.99)

As funny as it may seem, I base coat the lure then wrap it in the plastic netting from my one of my wifes scrubby sponge things she uses in the bath. LOL. I then spray my other colors over it.

Would ya'll like me to post up the videos on here?

ya db post some on here i would like to see them...john

Post it brother. Maybe you'll get yourself some sales!

the most i spend is around 12.00 for a rapala but not to often i have a habit of throwing any where with crank baits weeds lily pads wood and loose a lot so its buy cheap

Yeah db put them up

OK guys, here it is. I got my hand carved Lil' Dave crankbait from dbarnett1 in the mail today. Still can't believe just a week ago this beauty was only a block of aged white pine. Great job Dave! Can't wait to try it.
                                                                                                                   

Sweet!

Nice.

Looking good

Good looking lure , do you sell to the public if so ow much do you sell them for?? great job....JOHN

"All this, for only $19.95! But wait! If you act now..." 

Oh, and awesome lure!

call now and we'll double the offer. with separate shipping and handeling.

i never Understood why there would be separate shipping and handling. It’s all coming from the same place and going to the same place.

Ha ha!

cool lure huh? dbarnett1's computer is down for repair or replacement so he won't be on the forums for a while. I'm sure he would take orders for the Li'l Dave lures though. I have lure #1 and it has become my favorite lure. It has multiple actions both as a surface and a diving lure and they are totally unique, like no other lure I've ever used before.

Hmmm... $407.99 huh? Why not get 5 and hook em to an Alabama rig? Go big or go home lol

Alright guys...got to fish the dbarnett1 Lil' Dave...caught a few...one is pictured below. It has a very wide wobble, a characteristic of good squarebill cranks. I ain't bustin' mine off any rocks though, this peach earned a place in my lure collection. Think I'll put this one away!

Cool Mo, hope you're going to post on Outdoor-Fishing for dbarnett1 to see!

how much do they cost from him i would love to have one to ad to my collection they look great

dbarnett1 is a member of this forum and can also be contacted at www.outdoor-fishing.com. He's been without a computer for a while so it may take a while for him to respond. Tell him you would like to purchase a "Li'l Dave" lure. Membership at Outdoor-Fishing is free. Please visit. And mention "Bass or Bass?" sent you. Happy Fishing!

B or B is right...haven't heard from Dave for a while...but while we're on the subject...here is the latest crank he carved for me. This one has the best action yet. Hope to hear from him soon.

to expensive for my taste.lot's of stores with better and cheaper.

I'm just glad you found these on this web site. Being the "guaranteed lowest prices" saves me from having to shop around. I'm gonna order two of each color @ this price!
