    I ordered these things 4 weeks ago and just got 5. I pretty much just wanted to see what all the hype was about. I don’t think they are going to be very successful at coming through the river grass but am sure many of the guys are going to give them a try.

    I had all these plans to try them and figure out when and how to fish them correctly, but all that went down the tubes because I just saw that these were selling for over $25.00 EACH on EBAY!!! Oh by the way, mine are listed on EBAY too

    I ordered some too- but mine will be on there as well if i get them soon while the price is up- I could sell 2 and pay for my other 4 with what i take home. I hear they are coming out with a weedguard variety.

    I saw them on Bass Center and the first thing I thought was, I can make that. Correct me if I’m wrong but couldn’t a guy use a buzz prop on a steel leader and bridge into his jig mold? What the heck I’m going to try it anyways. If nothing else it’s something new to them.

    BBaron- pretty crazy huh? $100 a piece sounds crazy now, but what will happen if the Classic is won on them in a few weeks???

    I’m hoping to buy a couple new curados in two days!!!

    My guess is there will be hundreds of them on ebay within 2 days and the price will be driven way down. Glad mine are the TOP 5 on the list!

    Way to go D-Nort. Wish I thought of that. It looks like the blade off a BPS Tornado. Why not add a swivel and a piece of stainless wire and tornado blade and it would be close.

    I guess if it was me, being the good christian I am, I would feel extremely guilty making this kind of profit.

    In order to cleanse your soul, you should pull your items from Ebay and give them to me. I will auction them off!!

    exactly..why not use the old in line spinner??

    to me fisherman are looking for that magic lure and they think they have found it!!

    I won’t jump on the bandwagon, I’ll take a spinner bait over that crap any day and i’ll save a ton of money!!

    Pitbull how are you supposed to xpand your fishing sucess if you will not try new things. When the fishing gets tuff and the fish see something new that could be money in the boat. I bet your the type of guy who refuses to try a drop shot or carolina rig, man you need a loaded arsenal these days and a spinner bait aint gonna cut it.

    The totals are in…

    I sold 3 Chatterbaits and 4 ten-packs of trailers. I actually posted 5 Chatterbaits but the same guy was high bidder on 2 of them and told me to “get bent” after he saw what he could get them for now and refused to pay (understandable).

    Here is the money I already have received through Paypal! (prices include shipping)…

    Chatterbait #1 = $104.15
    Chatterbait #2 = $57.65
    Chatterbait #3 = $42.65
    3 10-pack Trailers = $8.76
    1 10-pack Trailers = $7.15

    TOTAL = $220.36 ! for 3 jigs and 40 little rubber things…

    I can’t believe that guy actually paid me over $100 for one! .

    So anyway, I have 2 left . Anyone interested? First $150 takes them both .
