jbone522 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I think I'll pass. Not for the price but because there are probably better baits for way less money. Dink whisperer, hydrocephalic, El_Weruso and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydrocephalic Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 When you consider this bait isn't even a square foot in surface area, it's pretty damn impressive that it costs more than the average new home per square foot.

chefchris Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Everyone bashes him and then still buys and fishes his baits. Never seen a guy so disliked and hated on and then so strongly supported (most in secret) by those same people.

He got a fair amount of my money in the past with no regrets. I'm sure he will sell plenty. Good for him. hydrocephalic and Primus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiderman Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 When his baits were the only show in town it was easy to sell them for whatever he wanted. All I see now is him cutting the flipper out of the deal, nobody is trying to flip that thing at that price.

Jay_Paternostro Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 He's smart because then people can't flip his baits. I support him 100% and he makes some of the best swimming baits around BigBaitThirty, Dink whisperer, bdpettit and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 The price on these is outrageous. That being said, I’d still absolutely support him. Killer baits that catch fish, look great, swim great, hold value, good paint that doesn’t flake off after two casts. When he says your bait is coming…..your bait is coming. Not 2.5 years later. And last, most people don’t realize that his customer service is legit. Break a lip or tail and send it back, and for $15 you’ll have your bait back in two weeks all fixed. benczar94, GoblinSlayer, Primus and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all in for his drops, but I’m not a flipper, don’t support flippers, and therefore will not pay flipper prices. My Money will go elsewhere I guess.. gary m, Dink whisperer and jbone522 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonF Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 His prices went up a few years ago when 3:16 was the big “hype”. People were flipping his baits so he started charging more so he would profit rather than the guys flipping em GavinDH, Jay_Paternostro and basskickinrednick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASS_SWINGER Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 The big bait game ain’t cheap this isn’t anything new paying prices like this or more even considering the gear we pay for to throw baits in the 8oz plus range. It’s easy for you to hate on the top dog when your on the bottom same dudes hate the guy with the super model wife and Ferrari. Cost absolutely zero dollars to scroll on by I don’t know how insecure you have to be about yourself to make a post on a forum. Instead of taking the time to complain maybe fill out a job application for a better line of work.
