I will be going and I will be bringing my hard trout. Its value is $500. I made one and then I accidentaly destroyed the molds. I dont plan on selling it anyways untill I can make more so for now I can say its worth $500. If you guys knew how much work and time go into those big hardbaits then the price wouldnt be so shocking. If I ever get around to selling any of my hard baits I would probably have to get at least a $100 just to make it worth the time to make them.
There are reasons that there are only a few guys making lures like these, because they are a pain to make compared to the soft baits.
I believe the Rago trout is worth the price. The optima does not impress me. Mine will be under priced
