WOW!! Those are some nice lookin baits.
Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
What is the vagabond bait made out of?
Why is it more than twice the price of the wood Punkers?

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
OR, I could continue to think how dang EXPENSIVE that bait... all the way to the register.
At that price point, if you want one, you'll get one. If you can't afford it, stay away.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Whats the way L Dub.....Sucks but whats it worth to you to catch a 10#+ on topwater.....And they dont work for monster stripers either trust me.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Since you obviously have yer panties in a wad over it, why don't you go ahead and tell us why this bait is worth twice the price of an actual Punker?JustinD wrote:Listen freaks....Ya'll spend hours out fishing for that one f***ing bass of a lifetime hiring guides, using inferior tackle, driving hours to the best lakes, ect. ect. ect.....Why don't ya just keep the price whinning to yourselfs and evaluate how much your time is worth then go out and buy one of these baits and throw it day after day after day til it happens. They catch big trophy once in a lifetime fish....and to me thats worth just about anything espeically $120.....or you can just sit back and bitch why you can never get the one.
Since you are so sure everyone who buys is will get a 10+, just how many have you caught on the Vagabond bait? Or do you not even have one?

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Its the pissing about the price of the bait....If you don't like it then get over it and go on...But bitchin about it is ridiculous.....Bitch about the stimulous package if you want to bitch....Whine about not catchin' a sack.....but if you have an option go for Plan B and let it be.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Exactly, I'll just buy Punkers and it's all good. I didn't know it was a japan only bait though BTW. Maybe that is where this went wrong? I just read the link and the price given was 120 in US dollars.JustinD wrote:Its the pissing about the price of the bait....If you don't like it then get over it and go on...But bitchin about it is ridiculous.....Bitch about the stimulous package if you want to bitch....Whine about not catchin' a sack.....but if you have an option go for Plan B and let it be.
You didn't have to get all mad about it.
Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
I'm not positive either just the way I read it to be.......Could be wrong even though its never happened before
. Just ask my wife.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Well I am never wrong, the only time I was wrong was when I thought I was wrong but I was really right!
In all seriousness, I do love that bleeding paint job on the Vagabond.

This is an Enthusiast Bait....not a daily Driver....like a pack a Marbrol Reds.
This is a Fine Cuban/Canadian Blunt.......
Its Art as much is It's a Lure.
I can't wait too have a Pile of Them...
Congratulations Lunker Punker and Black Dog Bait's.
I know what this mean's to ya man, and I'm Happy for you..

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Hey Bruizer, I don't care if Jesus hand build the bait. I will research nothing! Sorry, I'm not a pretty lure enthusiast, I like to actually buy baits to use. 
I am in no way bashing the bait though, it looks awesome as do many of the custom punkers out there. To each their own.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
Yeah, got lost in the conversation and forgot to congratulate Black Dog on the deal. The baits ARE SICK. I'll wait to catch a few on my domestic punkers before I try to step up to one of those.
Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
For the poor..... Like me....
Buy the LunkerPunker Blem from TW.com
Then do some internet searching and find someone to paint your bait.
And you too can have this bait in this pattern for 35.00 plus shipping like I did.
(whispering) Vagabond has a better bloodline on another one of their baits.
My bait is a Smallmouth with the bloodline all for a 10.00 paint job....
They were butt'n heads at the B.A.T. that is what gave me the idea.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
N.A.R. what condition was the blemished punker or punkers that you got from TW in? Scratched? Chipped?
I have been thinking about buying a couple but not sure what they mean by "blemished" Great price if they are in descent condition and work properly.

Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
I've bought 2 and they are PERFECT. In every sense of the word.
Re: Black Dog-Vagabond Bait
I must be missing something. I think the baits were painted very nice before. They dont look all that different to me.
