what's the most you would be willing to pay for a lure?

Me? £20 max - and it would have to be pretty bleedin' special for that cash...lol

TBH i buy most of my lures second hand now - last batch i got i gave the bloke £20 for a bulldawg, a salmo slider, a fox replicant and a savage deviator (i think thats what its called?)...bargain

Spent about £8 on a new set of (smaller VMC) hooks for them all - jobs a good 'un

There's always people wanting to sell at bargain prices if you look in local press/ebay etc

er

around the 20 quid mark is an average id say for a nice lure

ive a couple that cost more though lets just say above 30 quid shall we

trueglide
and a couple of jdm things that have cost silly money two spring to mind a blood shot raptor that came to around the 30 quid mark with postage and a little koi thing that weighs four or five grams that cost a fair few quid

the raptor second hand without any of the packaging

dont say that . it just cost me 8 quid. so i'll get a laff but no fish.
have you tryed the skitterpops, any good.

im not a great fan of topwaters i think i fish the wrong venues. usually looking for water around 25 feet deep 12 is shallow i know they will take topwaters in such water depths but i usually ignore them

saying that ive just bought another topwater

and im looking at imakatsu husky hassuzys as well if i can get one cheaper than 30 quid ill be happy if not looks like im paying the full price

dont worry greg crazy crawlers work a treat in summer/autumn on shallow bays/venues......
the best i've done on mine is 20lb 12oz!!!! so they dont just attract jacks either

i'll just have to try it rob and see how it go's. cheers

work it JUST fast enough to make the lure do the swimming action across the surface and add a couple of short sharp jerks now and again..... you'll know when you get the action right because you'll hear it making a plip-plopping sound as it swims.... it will also leave a trail of bubbles and a nice big wake behind it

this video shows what i have explained perfectly:

cheers rob. it's a daft looking lure i think a few of the lads will take the mick when thay see it.
