Those are expensive- buy them straight from Japan for about half the price.

Please share from where.

 

To date, I have not bought a single JDM article that's cheaper direct from Japan unless you get free shipping.

Digitaka is $20.94 and the cost for a 5ct of the 3" RV Drift  Fry is $6.12

 

My local funstore where I've been buying them had them at $11.99 the first week they got them in.........two weeks later they got another batch and they were $12.99

 

If you buy 3 packs you're almost breaking even, and even the most modest buyer would likely order more than 3 at which point I'd be saying money at $12.99 per pack, let alone at $20 per pack.

 

That said, I caught over 100 fish on two baits, and the only reason it's not more is because I snagged it in a brush pile this morning.  

 

The baits are pennies on the dollar vs. non Elaztech soft plastics, and maybe even those I just don't use them anymore.     

 

If you look on YT, there's a video where Fujita shows a sneaky little trick to get these to roll even harder.    Basically you remove about half the lip.   I've yet to try it, but since we're starting a thread on them.

$27 shipped....

Who is buying 1? I bought 8 packa and it was $102 shipped - that's 12.75 each.

Not all of us spend $100+ a pop.

 

I certainly don't buy 8 of anything at a time.

 

Like I said, I haven't found a JDM place yet that makes sense unless you buy quantity to either get free shipping or to make the shipping worthwhile.
