Allright, no split ring.
John, these things actually don't even need to be painted. They come painted already. You can even get them with this mirror prism finish that looks pretty cool. They look pretty damn close to Mambo minnow bodies. They have them in 3, 5 and 7 inches for normal colors and 5 inches for the Mirror Scale finish. Rattles in each body.
It's actually pretty affordable. It's $45.69 for 25 5 inch normal colors. That comes out to a 1.83 a lure body. Then, you need two split rings a lure. If you search around, you can get 100 split rings for $6.15. Since I am getting a bunch of lures using the same split rings, a 100 pack is a deal for me. 2 split rings winds up costing me 12 cents.
Then there are the hooks. Two hooks, if purchased in bulk, come out to 17 cents.
$1.83
$0.12
$0.17
Grand total of $2.12 cent per lure.
The price of a mambo minnow is probably going to cost me 5.50-6 bucks. Assuming the worst, or in our case, the best, You have saved 3.38 dollars. Enough for another lure.
Here's the low down. You get a better quality lure at a really low price.
I didn't include shipping and handling in all of this because I'm ordering a lot of stuff and it would be way too hard to factor it all in.
This is exactly why I plan everything out. Some things turn out to be real bargains, some don't. I can the ones that don't turn out to be bargains. Then again, some turn out to be lemons after trial and error. These look like a good deal but they might not be. If they aren't, I'll post my findings and learn from my mistakes.
