I recieve E-mails from Shimano
This week they had a link to a Jackall bait that looks like that

They claim they throw it on 65# braid. Looks good

And thought I'd pick one up over the winter
They also mentioned there's a top secert G. Loomis rod coming out
Sould be interesting, I thought there new NRX rods were some of the best rods out there

I imagine you can find them at Bass Tackle Depot or some other website that doesn't harm the ability to keep GreatLakesBass.com going. (PS: this is not a joking matter for me, please do not post links from that website. I'm serious about this. I take it personal when members don't bother to understand why I have this rule. I appreciate members who help and wonder about members who don't... Thanks.)

Dan i fully understand you about the other tackle shop
And i've tried to post the sales of sponsers on this site along with buying from them as well.

The Jackall stuff in the link is being sold in the states thru Shimano these days

I don't see any benefits over the Deps BUZZJET.... But I do see some negatives.

my post was meant to be a joke.   Who would pay that much for a lure (>$50)?

People that have a lot more money than I. And there are plenty of those people.

I've had a crazy crawler in my box for years.  You can get them at BPS for about $7.50.
This just looks like a newer version.  The only diff seems to be the prop at the rear.  So.... get a crazy crawler, take a prop off of an old bait and put it in front of the rear hook.  A lot cheaper and I'll bet it'll work just as well. 

My dad was the one that first showed me a crazy crawler a long long time ago.  That and a hula popper and a jitterbug.  I love top water.

There is no shortage to the things we can try with fishing. One more thing I like about it! I think of the times I even wanted to laugh about something someone tried... and then they catch a nice bass.

Still gets them FREE traffic which = sales that will not get credited to GreatLakesBass.com. I've seen people spend $75 on lures because they believe it will catch more and bigger bass. If they're going to try that theory I sure hope they click on a link to a website from here first!
