wonder if it comes with scuba gear and a license for recovery?

 

[OptiMystic]

Watching the video, it looks so life like I would be tempted to try teasing it to the top with a fly...

 

[Neilslure]

I bet I can outfish it with a lure under $10.00.

I'd put a bag of zoom speedcraws against it any day!

way to expensive but it looks sick in the water... probably what id use if i was after the world or state record...

Here is a link to a review of this lure.

If I lived in San Diego I'd own one......and cast it like I stole it.

A little paint, some hooks...

 

[Big Dawg]

does this have gold split rings and hooks?
I wonder how far a person would go to get this lure back after getting it hung up on a log 15ft deep..

I would have more respect for someone who caught the world record bass with a live bluegill than with a $400 swimbait.

Lure retriever. If that fails your going snorkeling haha.

 

[biglenr]

I wouldn't have the grapefruits to cast an 11" 11 ounce bait in freshwater.

Especially anywhere a $400 bait could conceivably get stuck... Which is kind of exactly where the fish would be hiding, isn't it?

Pass.

Two questions: are oil rigs close to the beach down there that yaks can reach them and what was a that red level wind he was using?

 

[OptiMystic]

ND,

Answers are yes and I don't know, though I suspect that you can find info on his rig in discussions here:

http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=58

The guy in the video goes by "Prof. Salt" on that forum. Lots of really good BTB info in that forum. The Gulf guys have it made for BTB. Lots more calm days, warm water for more of the year and deeper water near shore in most places.

fishing livebait takes almost zero skill. just being in the right place at the right time.

Not everyone is going to be able to afford a $400 bait. Any one can afford a few hooks and a sinker. You spend $400 on a bait and it better not take much skill to use lol.

 

[papadave]

IMO someone who spends $400 on a lure is either a tad obsessed or beyond comfortable financially. That being said it's amazing the $$ we spend on hobbies. I guess there's little difference between spending $400 on a swimbait that could be lost and several thousands on an RC aircraft that can easily be damaged or completely destroyed.

 

[Fish_Fiend]

400 bux is a kayak to me! I doubt I'll be spending that money on a lure....ever!

judging by the knob and color... I think it's an Avet reel... not many colored conventional reels out there... Accurates can be ordered in red but only from one dealer that I know of...
