Is this collectible?

I found this on the bank down on Bull Shoals.  I figured someone here might recognize it, lol.

@brother dave lost it.

I was wondering about this.  How many will be found when they get down to no flow at Taney.   
I’ve thought about buying a fishing magnet.  Might make a slow day of catching more productive😆

I was surprised it made it all the way down to bull shoals without getting snagged somewhere on taneycomo.

Holy cow that's awesome.  I believe Daryk found one on the banks one morning too.  Pretty soon they will start popping up on eBay.

One of the local guys is going to clean up when or if they ever shut the water off down there lol

2018’s are becoming pretty rare!  I’ve been offered $50 for one.  Nice find!

Wow, I was pretty much kidding.  Now Iim second guessing using it.

I just had similar conversation with Duane on Saturday.  I have some 2018s that are beat to death and I still throw them.  In my opinion his lures are made to be fished.  I think I've broken off one and broke the bill on another.  I did retire my lone sculpin 606 that I caught my big brown on... Yes they are artwork, but they were made to give you that shot at a big one so use them accordingly.

They won't last forever but I have a 5 series that I'm wearing most of the paint off that had probably close to 100 fish on it.  I do get pissy when the Walters decide to eat it as it really tears up that awesome paint job.  

Sling em if ya got em is my motto.  It's what they are made for.
