What is the most you would spend on a bass lure?

    With shipping I spent almost 30. Its a lure that is discontinued so it was an E-Bay purchase. Nothing else exactly works like this one, and I will get maybe between 50 -100 fish before a pike finally snips it. I once lost 3 in 20 minutes because I kept casting into an area full of pike and the current in the area had them hitting it sideways and they kept getting their teeth on the line. Would not throw my 30 buck one into that spot!

    Well I mean Chatter Baits are like $15 a peice, glide/swim baits go from $20-$1000 depends on your style of fishing.

    I love the old school DT Thugs, those puppes are getting up to $25-$30 on ebay now.

    For a bass lure, probably $50. Thank God you didn’t ask about musky lures.

    No kidding. I don’t even hardly musky fish yet the kid and I have multiple lures kissing that 100 to 130 dollar mark.
    For bass I try and keep it below 20 bucks on average. I bought every clacking rap I could find a few years back and now they are 25 to 30 on ebay

    Next time try a fluoro leader material leader. Not regular fluoro, has to be the leader material, get 12 to 15lbs and you won’t get bit off. I’ve fished the same pike tip up all winter and have caught many pike on the one with 12lbs leader material. It’s impressive how tooth resistant it is.

    It depends what size bass do they guarantee it’ll catch? If I can catch a 12lb bass up here in MN well that’s worth 200 bucks easy. Also depends if I’m buying it for artistic or sentimental value over fishing value. A hand painted lure that I find personally pleasing might get me to spend some money.

    Yikes, that’s spendy. For bass, I might go $4.00. I really prefer the Wal Mart special crankbaits that are $1.99. I don’t get so heated when a snag confiscates one.
