Bloo these are not lures meant to be fished first of all....
These are one of a kind hand made lures.... Each blank cost me almost $20...this was purchased several years ago for turning stock. 3x3 figured walnut is not an easy find...and generally the more figuring the more expensive it is....
Now add the 4 hours EACH I've got into these....and not at standard lure making hourly wage of .15 an hour....these puppies took alot of time...time to select each piece end to end....time to turn it by hand with real chisels and not a duplicator.....time to take a pice of wood harder that will dull a turning tool in 3 seconds flat and sand it to 800 grit smooth....time to look at it from every different angle to determine which side would look better as a side or a top...time to drill it...time to clearcoat it....time to assemble it.....time time time
Bloo you have no idea what it takes to keep this shop open every month. To make $3 per lure profit. Yea we figured it out yesterday...I make less than $3.00 per lure profit...before taxes.
These are custom PRESENTATION QUALITY lures....something meant to be given to someone as a gift to show on a mantlepiece or collect....not a $8.00 lure you can buy off the rack at your local shop.
