This might be and probably is the wrong spot to post this but I didn't know exactly where to put it. When shipping 1 Lure what is the best way to do so? What box do you use? USPS Flatrate?- seems a bit pricey for 1 Lure.

Sorry if this was supposed to be posted somewhere else.

Thanks!

Get a bubble envelope. I have seen some guys cut coffee stir sticks and cover the hook points. Cheaper than tubing. Wrap lure in another piece of bubble wrap and tape it secure. You can send it regular post fairly cheap. Mark package to be hand
stamped or whatever they call it.

Follow up: I hate when someone sends a lure with masking tape wrapped around the hooks. It never peels off that easy once it is on there for awhile. Probably because they got that cheap stuff free from the office.

Hollow out an old book, put it inside, and send it usps media mail (jest came up with that idea!)
Masking tape werks over hooks too or jest remove them all together as it won't affect price or interest.

X1.5 yes I've deducted points -only for the fact of sidejack suggesting to hollow out a book to send a lure, priceless

Manilla envelope (free from your office), masking tape the hooks (free from your office), bubble wrap from that thing your wife bought off amazon (not free...your wife paid way too much for whatever it was), packing tape the manilla envelope shut (free from your office), write with a sharpie that you got from your office....

You're out about three bucks to ship and the gas to get to the post office. That's what I've heard works.
