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)
