Silas Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I see my generous nature has already been rewarded by the mailman this morning. By receiving a Majorcraft Zoner 55 from Maguro Pro shop in Europe. Fantastic looking crank! I should have ordered 3! also 5 assorted Bagley Killer Bs that are from an eBay dealer. So far the day is looking good! 1 Quote
primetime Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 It will always be my contention that the blanks sold overseas that are under a buck then repainted and sold for a higher amount..Sometimes over $20 on Ebay, are either fakes, but I still think many are blemished baits that did not make it past the first line of Quality Control. Obviously they would realize at the factory that the bearings are stuck, maybe the walls are to thin, the taper is a bit off, etc. all of this would be picked up before the painting, and also before placing the hook hangers etc...That is why I believe some had one sink, others have had good ones, and some like myself, have had an issue of the line tie pulling out... When an OEM who makes thousands of these lures finds a batch that is damaged, they take the entire batch and throw them in a spot and then who knows where they end up....I just get annoyed when people online claim to have custom repainted Megabass lures for $20 etc..If you don't have a Megabass Box, they are not legit, or if stamped Megabass on the lure...If I was painting legit Vision 110's, I would save every box and never paint over the markings... You can buy quality blanks in bulk, however even overseas, unless you buy 1000, you are still paying the same price as Barlows and other US sellers offer with quality lures... Many of these guys are simply using WL Lure....which I believe is now based in the states but they sell lures that are inexpensive, and are honest people in the sense they never claim to have a certain brand. Any company would be crazy to say "Megabass" in the description unless they are not Megabass as they have no contract to lose.... Quote

They might be good. I just don't need to find out. So if you are reading this thread, first "I'll take them" here will get them. Then at least I can walk away feeling "generous!" LOL! If still available, ill take them and toss along a specific shoreline that is riddled with pike right now. We shall see how fast they sink full of holes! Then i will cut them open with the dremel and post what is inside them for others to see. 1 Quote
Silas Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Kevin 22, Congratulations on winning the 3 lure prize! PM me your address and I'll get them out to you. Just let me know how they work out for you. 1 Quote
Cody21w Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I made an order from them about 3 months ago. I bought revolution (lucky craft) evolution (not sure) and pop max clone. Paint jobs are killer. I've tried both cranks and they all run true. Haven't had one chip, break a bill, run crooked... imo best crank ever for the money. Today I caught about 10 dinks on the lucky craft clone in the sunfish color. Last week caught this 5lb 9 oz on it. Quote
