| I didn't know what this lure was so googled and found a thread from here back in 2013. At that time, one sold for a reported $300. If that was correct and JKahler's estimate holds for today, that would be a very nice appreciation. |

Location: In the slop! | I can remember the maker, but not his name, being at the Chicago show. Seems like the Little Wish was $270 and a Big Wish was $290. Seemed exorbitant then, kind of like gold..... |

Honouring the Legacy of Rolf Balansiak and Wishmaster Big Baits
As many of you know, on the morning of Thursday, January 17th 2008, the founder and sole producer of hand-crafted baits at Wishmaster Big Baits Rolf Balansiak- passed on, succumbing to the sudden and fatal effects of the rare blood disorder known as T.T.P. [Moschcowitz disease]."
from: http://friendsofwishmaster.ca/
Only 150 Wishmaster Big Baits were handcrafted, numbered and dated each year by the artist Rolf Balansiak, making every Wishmaster a collector's prize. m :
