I haven't fished a large, hardbait yet(I do have the smaller, 7" Slammer on b/o) but that bait is incredible! I have never seen a trout swim but I have to believe that that is the closest anyone has come to duplicating one.

I'm gonna have to back up DT on this one. There is no way that I would pay a couple hundred dollars for a bait. No matter how good it looks!
Most of the people buying the Castaic hard baits are collectors. Those baits never get fished.
$85 for the Live Trout is pushing it, but it's do-able. Once you get over the $100 mark, most people are going to go somewhere else. I say most because you will always have those people willing to pay any price, just to say they have one :P

OK guys, here is the deal.the First 10 baits that are gonna be up for sale are collectors. they will have a paint job so trick that you wouldnt beleive it, also the baits are # 1 through 10 and sighned,they have a cool( gladiator style) oak box custom made.Then thats it.Every person that's seen the bait in the water freaked! I really wanted to build a bait that I could really go off on! this bait is insane !Its way more than I ever expected. But most of all its original, and its made here in the U.S.A. not in other counties that pay labor wages a fraction of ours, not to mention that divert U.S. jobs. Think about that one! Hey Im no stranger to high prices, any one know the going price on a bag of dipers for a two and a half year old baby boy, or how about the price on a bottle of antibiotics (85.00) when he gets a cold. Be that as it may,I am gonna do a production run of 25 baits, this will give me my gross cost. THen I will be able to figure a retail price. One thing for sure is that I want you to get your money's worth as well as a high quality U.S. bait. fish hard & go BIG.
