^ Yeah...that's exactly WHY I have trays after trays of lures that were brand new and unused...

Sometimes, you just can't argue with the tried and true lures.

......

Most bargain bin lures are there for a reason...because they don't sell as well as the lure hanging on the racks (at full price)...and those lures don't sell as well for a very good reason.

Here and there, you may get some goodies in the bargain bins...
You just gotta know what you are getting.

Yeah, no kidding - I have a BIG bunch of duds kicking around too.... enough to completely fill a few tackle boxes........ which I've been considering doing for our next family garage sale.

Yes there's the occasional deal in a bargain bin - but it's rare. The stuff that sometimes is ok is discontinued models of high end lures - or damaged packaging or opened stock of "Brand Name" tackle.

Buyer beware........... If it seems like too good a deal, it usually is.
