I bought this in an ebay frenzy in an attempt to get one of Gale's baits to fish with...As I understand things now, this bait is more of a collectors item...It is a smash-n-grab creeper #4 of 100 made in 2002...I have to admit it really is too pretty to fish...The matching paint on the fins/arms is awesome...Although my wife may argue the point, I am not a collector...Guys, I hate to admit it, but I paid a couple hundred dollars for this bait...Never bid on ebay after a few beers when you have a good paypal balance Anyway, I have no idea what its collector value is...I guess it is whatever someone is willing to pay...I'd like to get back what I paid...PM me if you are interested...If not, go ahead and have a laugh on me for being so stupid to shell out a couple of C notes for a piece of wood and some metal...Just don't openly ridicule me on this thread... Thanks,

Man, I'm no collector, but if you are going to go overboard on a bait, at least it was a beauty. Absolutely beautiful.

Feel better?

you can't go wrong with wakemakers as either a collectible or as a "user" - that one you have is gorgeous! i'd put that in a place of honor and show it off!

That is freakin' cool.... :thumbsup: I wouldn't be able to throw that either. Heck...can't afford it either.

I'd say...if you don't HAVE to sell that right now...don't. Hang on to it. Even though you're not a collector...to have one like that hanging around a den or office as decor for a while....maybe letting it appreciate in value????? You just never know... :shrug:

Muskyme: People I know, think I'm goofy collecting muskie lures but I don't mind. Once they see my collection and the craftmanship behind them, they tend to be impressed afterwards. You should have no problem getting what you paid for that bait, it's a great looking, one of a kind bait. Wish I had some spending cash, it would be a great addition to my collection. Here's a pic of my topwater baits. An orange and yellow weagle I bought off you a couple of years ago is in the display.

All of the baits are great. I don't want my wife to know about my baits. All hobbies are high priced. Doug

Thanks for all the encouragement guys...I don't feel so bad after all...Rob, that display case is awesome!! I must admit, you have all given me reason to re-think selling the lure.
