| I have a Lelure Vamp which I suspect is the most valuable one I have, but I don't throw it. Second in line are a couple of HR's - also part of the scenery in the basement.
I have some trueglides which I do use regularly. I won't go higher than $40 unless it's an addition to the "museum". I won't think twice about $12-$14 range. When it gets above that I question the need and utility of it. |

| I have 1 set of lures from well known basement baitmaker that haven't seen water. I have the whole matching set and they are simply awesome looking works of art. Don't know that I could bring myself to throw them. When I bought them it was with the full intention of using them. However, after seeing them, that changed.
But, I do have an Original Turd Flaptail that I do fish with. That lure is priceless/irreplaceable. I've also got several in the 40+ range that I don't think twice about using.

| Got esox? Where did you pay $35 for a Top H20? Just curious.
My most expensive bait that I throw by the way is a B.S. Willy custom creeper which I call the "Pink Nightmare". It is a huge bodied creeper that will run over the biggest waves! I think the custom body creepers run about $75. What is so great about any of B.S. Willy creepers is that the wings are a heavy guage stainless steel that rarely come out of tune. His regular in line (readily available) creepers are a steal at $25. They have the same heavy guage wings as his custom ones. Never used another creeper that can "keep the sound" fish after fish.
See Ya,

| I have a large Lakeland full of Nimmer Swimmer's. They range from $20-$80. I will throw everyone of them this year, I bet within one month of being on the water. If it works use it. Now I just need a Wishmaster to waste my money on!!! |

| Two ways to look at this...1) a creepenstein that I struggled to justify getting due to cost. Within 3 days that bait paid for itself and I am hoping to get 1 or 2 more as backups. -or- 2) The unweighted black perch burt that once got stuck in the back of my leg with a pike and boat seat attached and a year later got stuck in a partner's elbow which eventually caused a trip to the ER where he needed stitches. |

10 - Wishmasters????? Your a very sick dude, but i like it....
Things could be worse, you could have a drug addiction, or an addiction to exotic cars, etc...
I can tell though, that you are not married.
Best, Pikiespawn LOL  |
