Dan_the_fisher Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I bought one at dicks today, then when I got home I realized no "made in Japan" marked on it anywhere, where are these things made? I'd be upset if it was anywhere but Japan for $18 Quote
Dypsis Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Can't help you on where its made, but it was my best producing squarebill last year - that's all I care about. They catch fish! Good luck on them. 2 Quote
Dan_the_fisher Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 They look great, but I feel like they are gouging hardcore if it's made in some 3rd world location. Quote

No matter where they're made most of these hardbaits are just molded plastic and probably cost no more than 40 cents to make. 3 Quote
Heron Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 They were specially hand made by a guy who lives in a van down by the river. 4 Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 There's a little sticker on the bottom of the package. It's a great bait though, I don't care where it's made. Megabass has dropped the prices on some of their baits, this one included. I'm sure that's part of it. Quote

Thanks all for the replys, i saw them on there and I wanted to buy 1 to see if I liked it before ordering a few sizes colors. But I was highly suprised when I saw no jap made mark, my made in Vietnam sticker must have fell off. Quote

Youd be amazed where a lot of premium baits are sourced from. Just buy the lure based on its own merits. Who cares if you can't read the box, you throw it out before you even use the thing haha 1 Quote

I try to forget how much it costs 5 Quote

Dan_the_fisher Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 one thing I noticed is it gets snagged a lot more than any other square I'll I have, but it sure catches fish Quote
