$1,147 swimbait

[Quillback]

Man this thing looks deadly, I think I'll get 2 of them.    

NOT!

Covered in leather, which needs to be "aged".  Comes with operating and storage instructions.

I enjoy throwing big baits and have quite a few swimmers that were pretty expensive, but this is crazy

...The leather exterior also does not get colder in the water like traditional ABS plastic, which ensures the bait has a warmer body temperature and a similar texture to a living baitfish...

For that kind of money you'd think they could at least hire an ad writer with a basic grasp of physics and warm/cold-blooded creatures.

For $1,147 you should get any color you want, however I think it only comes in white.

43oz? Goodness.

Are you supposed to throw it on a chunk of rebar?

Its magic....that's why its so expensive. 

 

It also says: *The Manifold Deniro Yugo Frame 550 Glide Bait moves properly once the leather has absorbed water.

One would think, that for $1,147,  a lure would be ready to fish right out of the box and you would not have to wait for the leather to "absorb water".  

If the date was 4/1 then I'd call this whole thing an April's Fool prank.

And an app to run the thing via bluetooth from your phone.   Chuck it overboard, push button, expensive lure returns with big fish.

It’s a tank... I think it’s a joke or fraud.
