Deps 250 prices

[Bigbassassassin13]

Are the slide swimmer 250 prices going down because the demand is less or is it just because they are the new injected plastic ones.

Probable a mixture of both. With the OG Deps 250's, most likely the high prices was due to it not as widely known/available as it is now (original models released a decade ago, and mainly sold in Japan. Someone with better knowledge may be able to correct me on this), and also now due to the fact that it is being more widely produced could be helping with the lowered price.

The JDM version of the new 250 and 175 can be found for way less than what the US colorways are being sold here in the states.  You just have to have a source that is selling it for the same amount as Deps Japan's MSRP, which is hard to find, but even when they sell them for above Japan's MSRP, it's cheaper than the US colorways.

When the OG SS came out the price point was about the same as tne "New SS".  Reason the OG is higher is supply and demand (less of the OG's out there and not being made due to the molds).  What I suggest is to make sure you understand the differences in both of these lures and what you are looking for in regards to action both are not the same.  Some will say it's the greatest thing since slice bread, others will point out the differences (depends on what you are looking for).  Look at what the SU (older members ) are trending, are they selling a lot of the "new" SS or trading a lot of the "new SS" for OG SS,  or visa versa.
