Guess I’ll never know what it’s like to use one of those. I’m too cheap for spend that much on something that you stand a good chance of losing on the first cast

I've got very good rods that cost less those lures! No way would I spend that for a lure!

They're basically geared towards the people looking to catch 15+ pound bass on artificials. They don't want to use giant Golden Shiners to catch them. I don't blame the anglers, but the lure companies for taking advantage of them.

Be like Mike, make your own for pennies. Only people with more dollars than sense would pay that.

I am with you brother, to me the price of lures have gotten way out of hand. But they keep making them so people must be buying them. Just not this kid.

I once googled "most expensive fishing lure", a few years back......jeeesh !
A company in Japan has some in the $350-$550 range ! Had a link to a video to see the construction process. Another was out of Europe, forget what country, and theirs were $200-$450.
Certainly they were life-like looking, but at that price the only effort that I should have to exert should be.... "pay for the lure, toss it in the water, sit down on the bank and wait for the lure to bring you a fish.....period.

So if the rationale behind marketing a lure for $500 is that it'll catch you more fish than say a $10 lure, then, unless my math is off, the $500 lure should catch you 50x more fish as the $10 lure. Last I saw, the guys on the pro circuit who need to load their bag with beaucoup fish were using pretty much the same lures you and I do.

I kinda think that anyone that would spend that much money on a lure is either so very rich that it doesn't even register how ridiculously priced it is (like some women who have a closet full of $900 shoes) or they are the kind who simply want to brag to their buddies...."Yeti cooler logic"...hehehe.
My tackle boxes are full of winners and I refuse to pay more than MAYBE $12-$15 at most for a lure.....most are under $5-$7. I buy at pawn shops, Wish.com (have 11 Whopper Ploppers that totaled $29 for all !), close-out bins, and of course, yard sales.
But then, lots of folks are shelling out $60++ for a truck or car, while I have less than $25k invested in total, for my F250 4x4, a fine Subaru Forester and my sweet little AudiTT ragtop. I also have a rather large collection of clothing (like two dozen+ "fishing shirts" & another 25-30 polar fleece vests and jackets from Columbia, REI, LLBean, etc.) that mostly came from Goodwill. Just gotta shop hard & frequently and always inspect to the max.

To each, his own.
