People will most likely buy it just to say they own it.

I guess that might be a better reason than intending to fish it

That Manifold is 2lb 11oz by my math, but I'm not a math teacher. LOL

Dry.  The bait doesn't work until it's waterlogged.

It's WAYYYY less expensive than Roman Made, per ounce.

That thing would scare the crap out of most bass I catch.

Even i have most expensive glides I don't think I am buying this, because they made of leather, I don't know if I have some very extra money I would buy it to hang it on wall LOL

I bet it doesn't come with hooks.  I could be wrong but I'm not kidding.

 

Ok...I actually looked it up and I AM wrong...."Packaged with four premium Japanese Ryugi treble hooks that provide lightning fast hook sets and the power needed to land trophy-caliber bass".

Of course TW does offer the opportunity to "Upgrade your hooks"  lol

What ott(not sure hot to spell it?) hooks are they?

Have to get a loan...

People can spend their money on whatever lures makes them happy. I personally rather invest in lures I know work well in the places I fish.

These are beautiful and if I had the money I might indulge in one of them.  That thing that in the topic?  Silliness.

Wowsers! What makes them worth that kinda cash?

Whatever is big enough to eat that lure is too big to fit in the boat.....

Never mind fitting in, I think it'd be bigger than my canoe.

That someone will pay.  It looks like it's probably labor intensive, and development must have been a time suck.  Add in that they aren't mass produced, and that's where the cost comes in.

Small run, hand made, special leather stitched over the frame, etc.

[EWREX]

for over a grand you think they would make it not look like an old baseball turned to glidebait. 

[J Francho]

Not for nuthing, it got me looking at their Castellanon bait, for $65.
