Look up the online article where they dissected one of the Roman lures. Having worked with wood for awhile, I don't believe that each one has 12 hours into it unless you count the time it speaks in water and the paint dries.

The weighting and balancing of each one is time consuming. Used to be a video on FB of him making them. Great to watch if it's still up. He is a true master craftsman. Doubt I will ever own one but I admire his work and talent.

I'll never be able to own one and don't fish anywhere that I'd get the full potential out of it but it would be fun to try to make one just to see if I was capable.

Boat. $100,000.00. And your point is?
TAKE A PHOTO HOME NOT THE FISH. CATCH AND RELEASE Set the hook first and ask questions later.

$200 Smart Lure So I have a guilty habit of spending money on antique lures and rods and reels. Currently, have a few older lures that I have no idea what they are or who makes/made them but I do feel a couple of them may be worth something. I will gather a few and post them here maybe some of you guys know something I don't. Back to my point, sometimes I see whacky or techy lures online, for example, i have a sonar bobber and a bobber with a camera on it. HaHa I know it's ridiculous but I like gadgets too. My most recent purchase was a lure called the Data Pro lure. It's 200$+ with more features than I know of at the moment. Some of the things I know is it weighs the fish, it reads the temp of water at what ever depth the lure is at, GPS, records video, and I guess the company will do cross country tourneys. I wasn't going to do it but if you preorder it's a 1-time payment. Otherwise, it will be a subscription based thing for access to their cloud, also American made. Lol, I don't know spit about a cloud but my wife reworded it to me in a way it made sense. I'll post a link and you guys tell me how it reads, although it doesn't matter at this point. I'll put some antiques up here today hopefully. LURE that does WEIGHT,GPS,VIDEO,SCALE....
All for God.

UPDATE: after a little research there are way more lures that are priced PRETTY DARN HIGH than i ever had imagined! I guess there are just some things out of a guys reach. little sample of what i found these are just swimbaits 10 REALLY expensive Swimbaits.

I really want one of those. I have some big swimbaits but I have yet to pull the trigger on a Mother yet.
