Title: Sea frog on Ebay?? Brandon help
Post by: dean dibeler on March 04, 2013, 08:11:26 PM

Hay guys i found a Sea frog on ebay, it looks legit but i`m no expert. i don`t want to bit on a dodgy lure.
Can someone check it out and confirm if its real or fake?

Finish looks right for it to be unused, but both swivels and the blade show corrosion.  It's either used or very badly stored.

Uuuuuuu AAAArghhhhh....
 Bet it does not stay @ $40.00 for long, Private Message  might have seen less eyes light up and bank balances checked..... 5 days and counting.

Funny Titahi, my sentiments exactly. It will make it very interesting to watch won't it?

Good luck Dean, thanks for the heads up mate....Nah just joking, you sound keen. I'll watch but won't bid.

My prediction for final price is $70.

An old one in that condition and 120 size is probably worth $70-100..... will be interesting to see if the bidding gets keen :)

It just sold for $152. I didn't get it way too steep for me. :'(

Bizarre price - way too high.

On the other hand, using that as a marker, my lures are worth much more than I imagined!
