$250 Bass Lure!!!!

ok im sorry but i would never pay that much for a lure that will catch me the same fish as a $5 one...

Those swimbaits are getting out of hand. I won't be rushing out anytime soon to buy one that's for sure.

Have you guys seen or heard about the 3:16 swimbaits that cost a whoppin $250 each! :shock: No it's not a typo! $250.00 big ones is correct, not $2.50!! :shock: :!:

Ok, now, if I was in the market for a $250 lure, I would at least expect the manufacturer or retailer to SPELL correctly.... the ad says "expect Viscous strikes"! So we should expect wet, sticky, thick strikes using this? :shock:

P.S. Baefish, it should be spelled 'vicious'! :lol: (sorry, had to Bae!)

The funny thing is that the $300 lure is out of stock at Tackle Warehouse. :shock:

that's probably because they can't afford to keep any on hand! :mrgreen:

ya know what, so was the one at the other link! I doubt i'd stock em either, who knows how long it would be before someone would pick one up...

They were out of the first two colors, but they had the other two in stock when I checked.

i would be one unhappy man if i snagged one of those at the bottom of a lake

If I snagged that I'd be going in after it

They use those for those rainbow fed 20 lbers. If you ever get a chance, read the book Sow Belly, which talks about the pursuit of the world record bass. Imagine going to Deep every weekend and having a shot at the world record

Actually, that's how I like my women. :shock:

On a serious note with these uber expensive swim baits... wouldn't a REAL FISH that actually swims for real, and has real meat, be as bait be just as effective?! Cheaper too! :shock:

thats what i was thinking too. imagine how many live shinners or suckers you could buy, and probably how many more fish you would get in the end.

but I suppose if i were hooked on getting the world record bass i might buy one...

yeah, doc, i only checked the first one that came up. but i am kinda surprised they aren't a custom order or backorder only item.

Just ordered 1 in each color !

that's just dumb

What u mean dude ? I plan on catching the next world record at big bend !

with a lure that expensive i better be guarenteed to catch 15lbers every cast :lol:
