I was browsing tackle warehouse and I noticed this- http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Roman_Made_Mother_Swimbait/descpage-RMMSB.html. Can someone explain why this lure costs what it costs? I get that it's a handmade 12 inch bait by some master craftsman in Japan and it took the world record lmb at Lake Biwa. But watching videos of it , I was sort of let down. For $427 I guess I just expected something different. Am I missing something? And then on the same site, they also just got in the Negotiator(already sold out) which is the smaller version at seven inches. It's "only" about $100. Why does it cost $325 more for five more inches?

This is the second most common thread on fishing forums behind "What line should I use?" If you've never fished one, there'd no way I can make you appreciate it. So if it's not worth it, don't fish it. I don't fish Mothers, but do have the negotiators, and they flat work. And they're extremely versatile, especially tn top hook model.

And there are plenty of built-in "why's your mother so expensive?" Jokes....

That would be a compliment, wouldn't it? :biggrin1:

Must not be worth it to you either if you don't fish it.

Monetarily, I would fish them, but after throwing baits at that size for a few hours, my shoulder and elbows like to stop working. So...for your purposes, it is worth it. For me physically, it's not. Thank you for playing.
