Guest Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 All of them have been tuned, tested, custom painted, and a few have already caught fish. I'm asking $17 per bait. I also have lots of other brand crankbaits that are custom painted as well. I can post photos tonight, if anybody wants to see them. 100% guarantee they run true
Jerry Rapp Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 smb. look at Joe's old lure page. You might save some bucks.
Guest Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 You might, but they don't guarantee their baits run true. So,, what your saying is there's cheaper baits out there and your steering people in that direction. Good job, Jerry. You just hijacked my thread
Jerry Rapp Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 17 bucks a bait is a lot. Anyone can buy them cheaper and tune them with a pair of needle nose pliars. I am sure your's are pretty to the eye(do you have pics?), but a good old bone colored one works awfully good. (scrape the paint off if you don't like the color).
Guest Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Interested I will post the pics tonight when I get off work. Thanks
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 11, 2012 Root Admin Posted December 11, 2012 They look pretty good. If I was a bass fisherman...
Guest Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks Phil. There's a lot of hidden cost with these type baits, anybody thats ever bought them off ebay will know. You have to bid on them and usually get beat out. Then you finally win a couple and wait a week for them to show up. After that, they have to be sent off to be painted. That could take weeks to months depending on the backlog. you get them back and put quality hooks and split rings on them. By that time, you've easily invested $20 in each bait. Some of the crawdad colored originals are $35 right off ebay.
