JediAmoeba Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Those are expensive- buy them straight from Japan for about half the price. 1 Quote

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

Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted January 24, 2024 Super User Posted January 24, 2024 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. Quote

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. 1 Quote
