msrp.........$39.95 and I thought LCs were pricey.

I got one for $30 after tax, but won't get to use it for a couple weeks. Never thought I'd spend that much on a lure, but it does look that good. Weighs about the same as a surface iron.

Dude at the counter said the guy that's makin em does it all by hand and pumps out about 12 per week and only has two tackle shops sellin em right now. Said he's lookin for an investor to get em mass produced and drop the price. He also said someone used it at Cedros and went 6 for 6 on yellows and that he and his boss have caught yellows and calicos on em too.

When I first saw em I thought it would be the perfect cabrilla bait, but after he told me the price I think I'll stick to just riskin it on yellows

I got one before trip to San Quintin a few weeks ago. I didn't have any problems with durability or spinning on retrieval. I did catch a few Bonito and a tiny yellowtail with it. It swims really nice but so does a $7 iron. I might buy a few more if they cost $15 but not at almost $30.
