Does anyone know any baits close to these that don't have the same cost?  I'm not really wanting to pay 20 bucks.

good luck finding an even mildly decent hard swimbait for less than $20.

That's what I thought I would get.  Thats okay ill just buy one and maybe something like a 13/14 lber will make up for it.

I had a hard time throwning down 45 bucks for the slammer.  I just got mine and love it.  Well worth it.  I did a lot of looking around, and from what I saw, getting it straight from the Slammer website was the cheapest way to go.  well worth it though.

yeah i was gonna say $20 is a deal! good luck finding a good one for anything less than that.

There are some cheaper ones that look interesting.  I'm thinking about trying that Megabait Charlie and River2Sea's V-jointed minnows.  The swimming of the bait isn't like SPRO swimbaitsl, but more like an Original Rapala with a swimbait body.

But yeah....  If you have the money just go for a more expensive one.
