Karma can be good

Captmikestarrett · 05-17-06, 02:06 PM

I was at a flea market this winter hocking fishing trips. It was in PA and most of the sellers had antique fishing stuff of this and that. But one guy had three possum belly boxes jammed full of lures. One box had 2 dollar sign on it and I began looking through it. I found two front runners brand new and placed them on the table. I then looked through the 3 dollar box and found a Rico in brand new condition. Holding my breath I removed the Rico only to see another one right next to it. I set all four lures on the table and said "How about 8 bucks" and he said that would good. Paid and walked away slowly. So far karma has not struck... but it will happen..

mike,
as karma goes, my bet is that you'll end up using those lures in a big money
situation, get a huge fish almost to the boat, and the lure explodes rofl

You made a deal, he took it. Karma needs to leave you alone. Any idea on what you should have payed for those??

Lets see the front runners are about 5 each and are great for flounder trolling Super Duper style. The Ricos are 28.50 each so I did OK.

I never had any luck using the Norman front runners,I guess I am weird, If there is something I want and have the money to buy it, I don't hesitate to pay whatever price they are asking for it.I went to a place that was a 6 mile flea market set up. There was a guy selling his merchandise . He had a huge sign that read " If you think my prices are too high, bring your wife along and we'll dicker on a new price"

I got a rico just like the one on the bottom of the picture, it looks great on the river when shad are busting

Front runners are useless with a hook on them. But for flounder trolling they are deadly..
