Default Ebay Lures and lots.....

So my buddie and I are spending $100 combined and seeing what Ebay has to offer when it comes to lures.

Soo far we have won $22 worth of lures. Thats about 22 lures so far. They're like Rapalas but Made in china... Look decent.

Reviews seem to be good.

I will do my own review for you guys.

What do you guys think??

Basically.... these are what im biding on

I bought an entire tackle box of rapala a few years back from a guy who's father had passed on and he just wanted to get rid of it.

Had over 65 rapala's and most still new in the box. Paid 100 and sold 30 of the ones I didn't want for 5 bucks each. Only deal I ever got on ebay.

While those lures you are bidding on look good they are not the real mcoy rapala but should work just fine.

Bass Pro had a whole table full of rapal look a likes this past week all in the box priced at $1.50 each. Needing more I bought 10. duh

Bought some lures from the same guy (orsergo200907) last year. the pictures look better than the real thing. Didn't really use many of them, still go back to my old faithful Rapala's.

The small ones wouldn't even swim. You might want to try them out before you buy too many like I did.

The larger lures seem ok but I never got them wet. Maybe this year in the river.

you might want to check out dollaramma. you can actually touch and feel the quality or lack there of, on these knock offs baits. it might save you opening up some disappointing mail.

The truth will be in the action when you try them. Having said that, many reputable manufacturers don't quite make their lures like they used to as production volume increases. A lot of plugs and crankbaits I use now need a bit of 'tuning' to get the right action.
