Finessegenics Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Are they more of a collection piece or do people seriously fish those? I always thought of the super high end swimbaits as sort of like sneaker collecting. Folks collect them but don’t wear them. I believe @ATA owns some Roman Made swimbaits (?) but I’m not sure about that specific model. 1 Quote

GRiver Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 WOW!!! Is everyone sure that’s not a typo? I mean really? $1100.00 Us dollars, not pesos or some kind of other currency? 1 Quote

steve-pierce Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 So is it the builder that makes these expensive? Like a piece off art. I'm pretty sure a first year woodworking student could kick 10 of these a day out so I don't understand it I'm also a guitarist and don't understand why people pay $10,000 for a custom shop guitar. So I may just be cheap Quote

Yup, weighted with unicorn horns, and painted with fairy dust. Only one reason to buy one of these, for braggin rights. 2 Quote
