The cheaper the lure, the more likely I am to throw it into cover.  And the more time it spends trying to get hung up in the cover, the more time it spends inside a fish's mouth.  So I actually find cheaper lure more productive.  

Pretty good way of looking at it.

Most of us here agree that we prefer to buy American made lures but they tend to be expensive. This can be solved by the USA moving production back here and lowering the cost of lures since more people will be buying American made lures. The more the USA makes its own products the better it will be for us in the long run. Besides a lot of overseas products are of inferior quality when compared to made in the USA products.

Sure wish that was the case, but unfortunately I do not believe that all/most lure manufacturing will return to the U.S. 

Soft plastic maybe....but not hardbaits.

Businesses are already returning back to the USA and hopefully will continue to do so. If enough products are made here they can lower the cost and still make profit. It is not wise to allow other countries to make our products. I can go in more detail but it is not needed since it is so obvious. The purchasing power the average American had was more powerful 40 or more years ago for a reason.

Yeah I could go into full detail as well as this is my life. We have moved some business back to the U.S. but hardbaits are still no where near what we are getting out of China. But to your point I do see a lot more domestic rotomolding companies branching into the plastic injection so thats promising.
