JLester Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Does anybody know why this crankbait is so valueable. It's a Bagley's DB-3.R2. It's Blue,Blue Scale with an orange belly. It really did sell for $ 888.88 on e-bay last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well, I wanted a blue balsa bait for spring fishing and the bidding just got out of hand!? Nah. I'm sure it's one of those wacky Bagley collectors and it will never see water again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdoctor Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Good question! I just did a search on completed auctions; the guy sold another one in the same color for close to $500. Suggest sending the seller a note to see what he is willing to say about value. It looks like he has sold several "rare" bagley's. Bob; these things are more valuable than gold (by weight). k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdoctor Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Mr. RG; Man these Bagley's have awesome action; I like to bounce them off the rip rap for silent water entry. I don't think the fish in Texas would appreciate such a fine lure. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Maybe the buyer had a red letter day using that lure and then lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Mitchell Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think that was my first bait I ever painted. I will let you know as soon as I can dig it up out of the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lure--Prof Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have some blue ones that don't have the scales in the Chatter-B-III....now that a price has been established... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterjay Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) At $888 apiece, it's just a matter of time before the counterfeits start popping up. I don't have the skills to do it, but for that kind of dough, I'm willing to learn. I've got plenty of old hooks kicking around if somebody wants to go partners.
