Snook Bait - Blue Flash
 

Could this be the ultimate Striper lure?

Snook Bait - Jointed Blue Flash - mint in box


How high will this one go? To the moon Alice!

that's insane
i guess it's worth waht someone is willing to pay for it

no, but may be one of the most expensive.

shipping should be FREE!

5 days left??? Given the condition and the matching mint box....I bet this one ends around at least $2,500.00........:uhuh:! Thats alot of scratch!!

Larry, put one of your Prey's in a box, hide it away for 60 years, Will it to your kids just in case you are no longer with us. Just think it might still be worth $20!:rotf2:

Wow, I take it there's some history to Snook ? Thats a ton of dough to hang ot for A plug.

Thats just it Andy...not alot of history! They only made lures for a few years! Scarcity!

There's three of them on there right now. Same paint schemes as a lot ccbc plugs.

Which came first??

With almost 3 days to go....I will stick with my guess.....its gonna close at about $2,500 or a bit more! Insane! One of the weasels today went from $155 with 2 minutes left to $875 at close?!?!? Crazy!:jump1:

3 hours left. Can't wait to see what it sells for.

Simply amazes me:doh::doh: bunch of collectors who have no sense at all bidding up a plug that is worth about $300 although they hype up about condition being nib. And the fact that there appears to be shill bidders and backdoor tactics by both the seller and bidders.
I'd lmao if the seller puts up 5 or six more of the same plugs in a couple of weeks!

Thank god I only buy plugs to fish! I spend enough fishing related items as it is, prices on some of these collectible items are insane…

One post and it's a link to a lure for sale on Fleabay? I think it's very likely that The Clam is the seller of this item and is looking to drive the price up.

The whole thing smells, and smells BAD!! Mystery box of new Snook lures found in house, auctions closed, opened again, shill bidding and a bunch of ................I'm not going to say anymore.

I agree.:spam:

Don't kid yourself....its not only a very scarce lure (They only were in business for 2 years I think maybe 3??) scarce enough in beatup, fished condition but in brand new condition with a box which is mint.....those prices may be a bit on the high side but not too far out of line.

could be
I'm not a computer wiz so i couldn't even begin to investigate it

maybe he could come back and let us know if he's the seller or a friend or something

He was on 10 minutes ago....curious for sure??? People have been known to "Suck The Big One!" :uhuh:

well after seeing 2 other threads started by this clam, it appears likely fishbones is correct in my opinion.

when you are a new member, your first threads need approval I guess, so , sorry I am the stupid one that approved this.

Larry, I see your point but what I see with these auctions is a group of collectors who all know each other (and probably belong to the same collectors clubs) bidding against each other so one can basically say I have more money than you and I've got the better collection... May I also quote VB:
"This is a Great Hobby that does not cost 1300 per lure
Most of the people I know who collect are doing if for the fun, and new people they meet not as a investment !!!!!!
That should be rule # 1
Please remember to have fun don't break the kid's piggy bank for a 3inch chunk of wood, God only knows what tomorrows finds will be"

To each his own, but I would rather just make an accurate copy of the plugs and fish em...that's would be my enjoyment!

End of rant!! Hope to make it to Plugfest and meet everyone.

He just sold another one for 1526 plus shipping and there's another one that ends in a few days.

Yes, this one smells.

The Spam

Sarge folks who collect high end stuff like that are not only doing it because they enjoy it....they are doing their part to preserve the history of this sport. $1,500 was not bad I think on an item like that.....you have to understand the history of Snook Bait Co. to get the entire picture. They are as scarce as hen's teeth! And that one is a mint hen's tooth!
