Post by Quantum_Kid »

Vagabond has licensed the Lunker Punker from Black Dog. Check it out. These baits are sick!

What is the vagabond bait made out of?

Why is it more than twice the price of the wood Punkers?

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.

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 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?

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?

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.

You didn't have to get all mad about it.

Well I am never wrong, the only time I was wrong was when I thought I was wrong but I was really right!

:D


In all seriousness, I do love that bleeding paint job on the Vagabond.

Do a bit of fact finding and history of vagabond and the man behind it.
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..

Go Kick The BASSMASTERS in the @*&%@@

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. :D

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.

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.

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.

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.

I must be missing something. I think the baits were painted very nice before. They dont look all that different to me.
