They had 2 in stock, those sold, now they have one back in stock 🤷‍♂️

 

They use it to draw fish out of cover and then come back later to try to catch them with something else, not so much to actually get fish to strike it. It's a sight to watch a bait that size being cast.

Yeah, I bought a couple then halfway changed my mind and returned one

Interesting, paying over a thousand bucks for a lure you don't expect to catch fish on.  😄

I have a couple of "reasonable" swimbaits, and I can't cast the stupid things.    They look AMAZING in the water, but making a lengthy and accurate cast is just impossible.   

Not because they are overly heavy, but because of the balance point they are like throwing a sheet of aluminum foil across the room without wadding it up first.

Can buy a lot of live shad for that kind of money.

Good point.   

You could probably cast them better too.

Or pick up a cast net and catch your own.

They do things different across the pond. I like throwing big swimbaits, but my elbows and wrist get sore after fishing anything over 4ozs for a few hours.

Threw a Bull Shad wake bait, couple of glide baits for a fair bit today. I feel this.

I've seen some of your pics on another forum where you've caught some impressive bass on swimmers.
