fxckjoey Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 if that’s the bait I saw earlier today.... that thing better come with a live high DD bass attached to it. for $850 and weighing in at 24 ounces... that’s insane. but it’s absolutely a beautiful bait and amazingly made. but still. $800+? good lord.

Yeah there seems to be no limit to a price when these large wood baits are made. I understand it's a roman made but the mother was "impressive" at a 450 retail price for a 12" bait but this one being 850 excluding shipping/taxes for an extra 3"?! At the end of the day some people will still buy this believing it'll catch them more DD's when some guys are getting double digits on 4-6" swimbaits haha But hey this is just my opinion. Casting a 1lb+ bait for hours means = It's time to hit the gym guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKNNH Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'll patiently wait for someone to buy one and post a catch in the Got'em or PB section here. SocalofSD and Taylor951 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casting a 1lb+ bait for hours means = It's time to hit the gym guys! yeah exactly man. I mean... swimbaits are just like anything else that is expensive as hell. someone somewhere will buy it. but to throw something that weighs 24oz... wouldn’t you also have to get a dedicated rod/reel that could handle that kind of weight? that just seems insanely heavy to me. but for $850... I could buy a handful of baits instead of just one. jesus. but if someone’s got it like that, where they can drop almost a grand on one lure, then hey, i’m happy for em. but I could never do it. lol.

Ira Waldman Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 It's hard for me to imagine that a fish will ignore a 12" bait and then eat a 15" one. A mother seems plenty big and enough of a meal to entice the biggest bass in your lake. I doubt that an extra 3" will make the difference between a DD committing or not. But hey, why not? If someone wants to drop $850 to throw that, more power to them. But I don't think buying that will make your chances at hooking a DD any higher than throwing a 12" bait.

22RangerZ520R Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yeah, a beast of a bait! I almost put the deposit down for one a couple weeks ago, but as stated above you'd need a dedicated rod and reel just for that one bait. I've casted a Mother off and it made me sick, I couldn't imagine losing a $850 bait.......! Hmoob, El_Weruso and PKNNH 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefchris Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think it’s funny they built this beautiful hand crafted, insane attention to detail, individually weighed hand made master pieces and then put the cheapest stick on .02 cents per pair cost eyes on it. like you’re charging $850 put some taxidermy grade eyes on the bait already! surfk9, SKSlide, Badfish562 and 5 others 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
