is Lucky craft overpriced??

[XbassmasterX]

seems like a lot of ppl like to use Lucky Craft lures but why?? juz seems like an overpriced rapala or other hard bait not tryin to bash lucky craft just woundering why every1 is willing to fork over double or triple the amount of a rapala or even more???? are they realy worth the extra 10 or 15 bucks ??and why

[roadwarrior]

are they realy worth the extra 10 or 15 bucks ??and why

Yes.

Lucky Craft lures perform exactly as they were designed right

out of the box. They incorporate top notch components and are

a work of art. Part of the appeal is simply collecting them!

They are for sure worth the extra money. I usually don't mess with any other brand unless I am fishing in a place that I know I will lose a crank or two.

[XbassmasterX]

I would want to try one or two before I spend a small fortune on these things

so what lure by lucky craft is a "must" have

[KevO]

I own one lucky craft lure a sammy 110.  I walks the dog better than any similar bait I've tried.  I have yet to catch anything with it but then again I've only thrown it once or twice.  So I guess what I'm trying to say is yes they are worth it.  Plus they look freakin awesome.

[WTRDOG]

Guy's who buy Lucky Craft's and Harley's are alike.Both know they paid way too much.....But they sure look nice...

[CWB]

They are a little steep and it really hurts when you lose one.

Try E-Bay. That's where I get most of mine.

Love the Live Pointer and Sammy.

These are definately great producers! I would add the following as well.

Gunnish 95

Slender Pointer 97mr

Sammy 100

Think about it this way, how much do you spend on soft plastics? I can go through $15 worth of senkos in one day if not more. Now I have several LC baits that have caught over 100 fish each that are still in good shape. Buy a good lure retriever and you will not lose any unless there are pike in your waters.

munkin that is true and every1 else seems like the pointer and sammy realy are making a killing out there but yes there is pike in and around where I fish

I also fish for pike sometimes but thats another story for bait

[S I G M A]

there are pointers in the bargain bin at cabelas online

[shorefisher]

I would say yes from a looks perspective but they definitely do not perform 3x better than a rapala or heddon. I personally prefer Megabass, they are funkier and yet still very beautiful

[MNGeorge]

They're all sold out and are not accepting back orders.

[S I G M A]

hmm... thats too bad

[S I G M A]

check out ebay

[Hookemdown.]

While we're on the subject of "expensive" lures...I bought my first Megabass last week: Deep X 200.

I haven't seen the catch rate go up over my standard DD22's, but the thing sure is purdy.  I might have to grab a few(dozen) more.

[XbassmasterX]

I will just have to watch out for good deals and sales at BPS and cabelas and GM and ebay

[avid]

over priced is a subjective view.  They are expensive when compared to most other brands, but that does not automatically mean they are OVER priced.  It also does not mean they will catch fish in the lakes you fish under the conditions you fish them.

Alot of lures are made from top notch components and perform exactly as described, for less money,  but that too does not mean they will catch the bass you chase when you chase them.  

I guess if you have confidence in a lure that catches bass for you, then it's worth whatever you paid for it.  If it don't then it ain't.

[burleytog]

Megabass, Lucky Craft, Jackall and all of the other Japanese bait companies are in a world of their own.

Are Ferrari's overpriced?  Porsche?  

[TrippyJai]

LC is worth the price, i have to pay 25 bucks after taxes at canada for a pointer 78. comparing it to rapala x-raps, they are nice, but not as nice. what i don't like about the x-rap is u can see the cheap clued on lips. and inconsistance in their lures sometimes.

+ i love the LC colours: chart. shad, MS american, ghost minnow.

=)

[fish-fighting-illini]

 Yes & No

 First I have NO experience with these lures. From a generic point of view yes they are over priced. Any lure over $5 - $6 is too expensive in my book. More than that is just too much out of the budget for 1 lure.

I'm not saying I'm the lure god this is just my opinion as it relates to why I fish.

[Jimzee]

As with anything in the tackle industry, you get what you pay for.  After a certain amount, it becomes more of a luxury than performance gain.  

With that said,  yeah they're worth it.

[burleytog]

you get what you pay for.  

What does that say for a certain crank you've been fishing for the last month and a half?
