Good looking bait - but dam I loose too many topwater baits to be shelling out $25 a pop - I can see me jumping outta of the boat and chasing down that dam ladyfish that made off with this plug
Dang good looking bait, but 25 bucks is a little steep. I can say this, they put Owner hooks on them and they are one of the most expensive hooks you can outfit a bait with. I am developing a jighead for my softplastics and contacted Owner because I think they make the best hooks. You can get Mustads that are made in China for like 5 cents a piece. Those Owners porbably cost the lure maker 40 to 50 cents a piece.
Good point, I can just see that Ladyfish jumping in the distance with my 25 dollar plug in is mouth while I reel in a cut leader.
I've been starting to buy a bunch of Azuma's recently, and their only around 13 dollars a piece. They also come with
a warranty on the back, where if you lose one, they are suppose to replace it for you for free. Now I've yet
to try and attempt this but I plan to at some point in the year.

That warranty sounded too good to be true so I went and looked it up:
AZUMA has created an innovative product replacement plan. If you lose or damage your lure we will send you a replacement lure for half the MSRP price of that bait.
Sheesh, 13 to 25 bucks for lures. I have a tough time with Rapala's 8 dollar price tags. Bass Pro Shops lures are actually pretty decent for the price. Usually have a bin on display with each of them running about 3 bucks.
