Realistic Swimbait!
 
Saw this on another forum, had to share it!

Made by a guy in Japan who makes swimbaits for monster largemouth.
His Website: http://www.roman-made.jp/english/index.html#pro


In the couple of bass tournaments in North Texas I have fished, I have weighed in fish this size on slow days...

5 of these on an alabama rig anyone?!

Wow that's pretty cool. Would have to be a huge fish to eat it.

Nice, I wouldn't know to fish with it or mount that thing

Do they have a price on those. I wouldn't want to break one off and lose 50 bucks for 1 lure.

I can see where during the spawn, fishing that on a bed, and pissing one off enough to where it strikes at it and gets hooked.
If something engulfs that, it is huge

On the other forum, several have said over $250 due to the time spent on shaping and paint alone! On the Japanese maker's website, prices are in yen. Looking at some of his other baits, which look good as well, I think he likes his baits alot!

The mother, a trout swim bait which is much smaller and not nearly as detailed as that bass....goes for 32800 yen....or $420 USD!!!! WOW!

No thanks

I think I would have to attach it to a winch for that much.

Wow that's ultra realistic! pretty cool looking, pretty dang expensive. I've been using River2sea's version called a Bossymarck 168. It. catches really well from pre-spawn through post-spawn. The soft plastics are hand painted and hand poured from California. That bream gets destroyed! They hit it like they want to break it in half! Nothing in this pic is more than $30
