Anybody use these around here? I saw a display at Costco, and talked to the guy for a bit. He convinced me to try them, there are 8 in the case along with a dual sided plastic fly box. has anyone seen or tried these in Manitoba??

$84 bucks seems a bit steep to me for what you are getting. Picture may not do it justice.

Yes that does seem a little pricey for that stuff. I would offer a trip to The Fishing Hole as an alternative and get flies that work on our local fish situations. You can buy them as single flies, getting only what you need.

Lucky Bugs were fairly popular in BC 5-7 years ago and the only deterrant was the price and then the kicker..........whatever they use in the mold would melt in the sun and the lure would become soft and sticky. Because of the shape of the mold the lures would dart and flutter in the water and were very effective but it concerns me that they made a quick exit only to surface several year later in Manitoba. Perhaps they've solved the problems with the injection mold but I can't justify 7 bucks per unit.

The package I got was 35 bucks. Maybe it's a sale they are running.

to be clear, there are 6 lures and the box in the package I bought. Thanks for the heads up on the issues they have. I'll do my best to keep em outta the heat. I liked the action they have when strippped in. A vibration kinda like a cr*nkbait, can be quick, or fluttered slowly.

at $35 buck the case alone in 15 to 19 bucks so that makes it a bit easier. you will have to give us a report on how "lucky" the bugs are!
