gcopple Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Anyone got the skinny on the $19.99 shell crackers on ebay? Lots of them for sale at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelpMePickABobber Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've heard people say they're junk. I bought one and it swims just as good as the ones I bought from monster fishing. Top Ramen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northeast Bassin Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 $19.99 is just the starting bid price though. I'm sure you've noticed, but all of them are for sale by the same guy. He had them all for sale last year(All of the colors you see now as well as Red Craw and Pearl White), but nobody bought them because he had them priced really high. My guess is that when they were first available on Black Dog's site, he bought a ton of them to flip. If you look at all of the other stuff in his ebay shop, it's all of those cheap, MIC lures that you see all over ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcopple Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 The ones that have sole recently are all 1 bid for 19.99. That's why I was leary, nobody has been bidding on them. I guess for 20 bucks I can give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess for 20 bucks I can give it a shot. I heard somewhere on either facebook or here that they are the knock-off or defective ones made in japan or china that don't get to BDB and they sell them there. But I'm not sure, don't take my word for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcopple Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I got a bid on one. I figured I have spent $20 on worse so I'll report back when/if I get the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b8thrwr Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I saw this too and was intrigued.... I messaged him and got an even better deal by taking it out of ebay and buying a bunch of them. they showed up in original bdb boxes and have the paw print on the top. if they are knockoffs they fooled me. but 99% sure they are legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the issues with handmade wood baits..I still prefer most wood baits over their plastic injected twins.. basskickinrednick and DDOUGNER 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
