Why are luckycraft luers so expensive and why do people pay that kind of money for them they seem normal to me :-/ :-? :-?

1. There hand painted

2. The components are top notch

3. Imported

I will say that before I met my new best freind, Sammy 100 in american shad, I was skeptical on why they were so much money, but I have caught more and bigger fish with the sammy than any other topwater.  My other favorite by them is the pointer 78DD in american shad.  This bad boy out produces any other jerkbait I have any day of the week.  So basically, they work.  Thats why there worth the money to me.

[Why are luckycraft luers so expensive/quote]

Because people buy them at that price.

Senko77 supplied 3 good reasons.

To that I would add Research & Development and Quality Control.

We've got Uncle Buck type companies who simply copycat the R&D that the Lucky Craft types had to pay for.

Business is all about making money, and any company that does good business should be rewarded.

As Avid indicated, this is accomplished by charging whatever the traffic will bear.

The consumer isn't ignorant, and in the final analysis, it's you and I who set the price, not the manufacturer.

You buy one off the shelf & it runs true. I've even bought the Lucky Craft red trebles & love them - they're heavy and last. Also I was never very good at top water until I used a Sammy. I couldn't believe how easy it was. I've caught big bass using this lure where in the past, I couldn't even get the top water lure to do what I wanted it to do...let alone catch any fish. I agree they are expensive..but so is the senko. People will buy a product that produces big results. You do have the option of using a different brand name but I don't think you will catch as big of bass as you do in my opinion. Good luck on your decision...I'm happy with mine in using Lucky Craft.

i dont see why some of them are so expensive, i like rapalas paint patterns better,and imported dont mean crap to me.  i guess if they work its worth the money.

i wouldnt buy one exept for the live sammys because that lure has something the competition doesnt.

imported dont mean crap to me

But I'm sure that matters to the guys who do the actual S&H, Not the end users (us)

That is the reason they make all difference brands

Look at this review.

And this one.

And this LC is probably their best effort yet.

And then you decide...........................

I fish the Sammy in two sizes. I consider this the #1 topwater bait.

I fish the Pointer in three sizes. I consider this the #1 jerkbait.

I fish the Staysee when bass suspend in deeper water.

I fish the LVR-Max-500 and the LVR-300. I consider these the best lipless crankbaits, but I also like the Yo-Zuri Ratl'N Vibe and Drum which are comparably priced.

I fish the Lucky Craft Rick Clunn series 2.5 & 3.5.

The only Lucky Craft product I have used and don't like is the Live Pointer. It's too light for long casts and I haven't caught any big bass. But, I bought a few more anyhow, just in case I'm wrong!

So, you might say I'm a big fan. These are high quality lures than are made with the finest components, run true right out of the box and produce more and better fish. If you are patient and shop at BPS often, some Lucky Craft are always on sale. These are not usually advertised or available online, but are "in store" specials. Although I have paid full bore retail for many of the lures, my average cost is around $10.

One outstanding bait:

I don't use them - why? - my lake eats baits. Fishing Lucky Craft on the Marsh would be akin to walking around NYC with your wallet open - things are going to disappear.

RW: They heard you:

The Lucky Craft Live Pointer 80MR, 95MR, and 110MR will suspend between 2-4 feet.

80MR-Length: 3.2", Weight: 5/16oz, 95MR-Length: 3.75", Weight: 1/2oz, 110MR-Length: 4.5", Weight: 5/8oz

That size should throw a 'country mile' .

I just saw they also have a '112' size that weighs 3/4 oz.

Sobering but true.

I've seen 'weedless' lures, but not too many WOODLESS lures

Though I recognize the superiority of Lucky Craft lures, I've made more but smaller contributions

to Rapala and Bill Lewis. Not to worry, I intend to phase them out, as soon as bass stop eating them.

Well put Rolo! But I too have a nasty LC habit!

Same here

i fish lucky craft crankbaits in some VERY rough situations.  ...lots of trees, laydowns, stumps, etc..

they out perform (MEaning Catch More Fish) Any other of my crankbaits by far.  in fact, i've begun making a LC Only box.

i know there are LOTS of other makes of crankbaits & some of them may be just as good.  i haven't tried them all, so, i certainly can't say.   ..i can say, for me, however, that i'll probably soon be down to only Lucky Craft, Bomber & (early spring) wiggle wart, crankbaits.  JMHO
