Saugerman Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Where is the best place to get .5 blank square bill crankbaits? Iv'e been paying 1.90 each for them, They are a good quality,but trying to find good crankbait for a little less. Is there anywhere that sells good .5's for less?

GrindStoneLures Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I have ordered many lures and they are complete crap.YOU might get 2-3 out of ten when you pay the higher price you are paying for someone else's loss really hope this save you money and time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks, GrinStone Lures and Stretcher66, I guess your right about getting what you pay for, just wanted to no if there was any other places to look, to try to save a little on those very small lures. I know that the small lures in most retail places are as much sometimes as the larger ones, but you know there is not near the material in on of the .5s as there are in the 1.5s and 2.5s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 The problem is that most manufacturers do not know anything about lures, the requirements or how they work. All they care about is how many they can turn out per hour. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cost thousands of dollars to have the mold made for 1 lure. Most legit dealers have their own molds. I would suggest offering to order large quantity of the specific blank say 50+. Might seem like a lot at first if your not giving them to friends as gifts or just painting a few a year. 1.90 for peace of mind is fine by me because i sell my lures locally and stand behind everything I sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 If you are getting them from Dinger Baits, you wont find better quality. Dakota Lakes Tackle also sells a .5 with squinty eyes included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
