Great autopsy! I shed tears for this one...

Thanks guys! Have been curious but could never have done it myself.

Wallet autopsy... One expensive coin toss.

Wow...just... WOW....Nothing special about this 400$ hunk of fire wood. Simple and cheap screw in hangers....Nothing better than what is offered by any striped bass plug builder at 40$....aside from added board feet...lol.

Cool to see though.

Cal,

Did you cry even a little?

Nope.. it wasn't my bait. It was Zander's

We were both really surprised how intricate the bait was inside and how carefully the weights were placed inside and the holes patched back up. I can understand now why the bait costs so much.

Now what are you going to do with it? I'm certain I could put it back together and make a nice Pike bait out of it.
