Now if he had done the dots with a toothpick... then I would think $400 was a steal! But there custom tuned, dated and signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw2121 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I wonder if this is more of just a one off sale and not a production bait.It does say limited release.Maybe that’s what is supposed to justify price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Check out ABT's glide baits and their Xstream wraps! Way cheaper, and you get a truly phenomenal glide with a 1000% better paint job than this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw2121 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 That’s not a paint job, that’s a wrap.So it can’t be a “better” paint job.Are you an ABT employee? dheath2, hroth33, basskickinrednick and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumoNinja Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don't think any 8" glide is worth 400 Plenty of other baits that do the same thing at a fraction of the price biggfeast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, this is functional art with the hype to back it up I guess. Props to him for his hard work and success.

mjw2121 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 unfortunately the hard truth is prices on all his hard baits are going to continue to go up and up and up until they don’t sell anymore.Which will almost never happen. As long as guys are there to pay that price things will stay that way.And not bashing on him or the guys paying for it.If you have the money for that I am mad jealous lol.And good for him to be able to capitalize on that.Just sucks because a lot of guys would kill for the bait but don’t have that kind of money. basskickinrednick, GoblinSlayer, Nick S. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggfeast Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Props to Mickey and 3:16 for getting to this point... I’m a huge 3:16 fan and think their products are awesome fish catchers. But $400 for a bait is too steep a price for me these days haha, so props to anyone who was able to grab one. Wonder if the rest of his baits will keep going up. Sure seems like it 185vsfrog, Bassassassin1990 and SumoNinja 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
