After inspecting close up photos I`d say these are the same bodies that are retailing for what.... $14.95 now

These can be had cheap!

Actually, I think you can get them for about $9 or $10. How much are the cheap imitations going for, and where can they be obtained? Have you swam any yet? I'm wondering if they have the same action.

Careful!!

I bought a bunch of Yardon "custom-colored" "Mag Darter-knockoffs" on ebay a couple of years ago from a guy in NJ. The wire inside is thinner than the Yo-Zuri's and after 2 or 3 fish they crack at the hook hangers, start to leak, and then sink like a rock with no action. They were clearly not sealed correctly.

When I complained the guy tried to say I did not know what I was doing & the Power Pro and Saltiga spinning reel I was using caused the problem. Funny, no other plug I use does this...

Shame because the colors were very nice.

Not even worth a penny in my book. Now I'm stuck with 7 or 8 more that I use for casting & fishing practice for my son...

Sometimes "deals" are really too good to be true.

From eBay

I bought last night then posted. Haven`t got them yet. He had close up shots of these darters from different angles and they are exact as the Yos at least exteriorly.

Fingers crossed that they are ok. Under $3.00 including shipping if you bought the 7 in picture.

Hope I didn`t get anyone onto crappy lures....he is out at this time but may get more....Mike

Good health and family

It seems like you can find a lot of the knock-offs online... they copy the basic body mold but to deliver the discount price, they definitely cut corners... hooks, rings, wiring, etc.
