| just saw two Dadson baits in the buy & sell for $100.00 each I had heard they were selling for a lot but a $100 bill? what makes these so special? |

Location: Contrarian Island | they have been selling for well over 100 on ebay, I saw one of his vortex models sell for 200 something... it crax me up, a guy should check out Spankys as they are made exactly like Dadsons...don't get me wrong, I have a lot of fish on my dadsons with a few over 50...but they aren't worth anything over retail pricing... most of the guys buying them won't even catch a big fish on them....  supply and demand but that is America! |

| Using a lure is a confidence thing, when you spend a 100$ on a lure your going to have plenty of confidence in it. |

|
| whats different between a musky mayhem and a dadson? $100 for a bucktail? Kudos to the man building the lures if he can trick people into spending 100 dollars unless there is something really unique? I could be just missing something. |

| Mr. Dadson's dealers do sell them for a little more than a cowgirl, its the people that re-sell them are driving the prices up, kinda like scalpers. |

| Most blades, especially marabou are good for 5-10 fish, Dadson tend to last a lot longer. I have a purple haze with over 30 fish on it and it looks new outside of teeth scratches. So I doubt you are really paying more as 1 dadson last 3-4 times longer. They also look nice. I have some extras if you have some cash;-) |

Location: Detroit River | Nothing special about them that makes them more effective than the others out there. If people want to spend $100 on one lure when they could buy 4 or more lures for the same amount that are just as effective if not better then they are more than welcome to do so. |

Location: oswego, il | The bullets run deeper. Like Nelson said, great baits and I have netted fish with them in their mouths. Like any bait that is hard to get, once it is, musky fisherman will go nuts. Remember when you could not buy a manta for less than 50?
Followers believe in magic lures.
If one of my kids needed a kidney, I would give one to a matching donor, not sure I would be able to keep up with the applicants.
I am going to get Dadson to poop in a bag. Imagine what his turds would sell for? |

Do it soon before the stores get them in stock again. They wont fetch a high dollar for that much longer now. Dont be shy either. Guys will come right out and offer a lot more than $100 a piece... especially if theyre older hair baits. |

Location: Waconia,MN | For that price you could buy all the components needed to make 4 of the exact same bucktails, and like others have said you could get 4 different brand tails as well or even just wait for them to come back in stock. |

| Anyone know where I can get blade stickers |

Location: Aurora | Make yer own 9mm or buy a CG Jr. and rebuild it using heavier wire.
Clevises, blades, beads, thread, tinsel, egg sinker, split rings, shrink wrap & hooks are all standard stuff on the 9mm.
If there's a rare oddball, it's Spankys cuz of the blades he uses.

| Because us musky fisherman are ridiculous!
I will learn to make em before i spend that much.
Ive been downsizing my tackle supply over the last few seasons, because when i go on my trips, i usually throw 3-5 baits the whole week! silly hauling around that many baits IMO anymore... |

Location: Hayward, WI | I think I would be bummed if I was Mr. Dadson. His customers are making more money re-selling his baits than he is!
Gotta be happy about that kind of demand though. |

| Which is proof of what I have always thought, to fish muskies one has to be a bit nuts and very obsessive. Some more than others. |

| I must say the Dadsons are much better built then CGs but despite countless hours of throwing them while having some action they have put exactly 0 fish in the net on my boat. |
