Btw...
Many of you guys has asked prices of my special lures at here. Couple of days ago i putted one unique Sturgeon to finnish auction site:

http://www.huuto.net/kohteet/karsakas/188300946?ref=gl

At now its going ~57 Us$ and few days is left.

I hope that moderators dont delete this , because i cannot even sell any sturgeons outside from EU.
All sturgeon parts need CITES-permit and its cost 170€  (250 Us$)/parcel 

Only little explain about prices from unique hand-maked lures.

Piatu - more beauties...$57 for a crank bait  ?  I thought I spent too much on tackle.  They're very nice, nicest I've ever seen...but who can afford $57 for a lure?!

Keep the reports/pics coming!

[Piatu]

Remember, its only example from special/unique minnow and for collectors, my ordinary/basic lures are much cheaper.

At here there is one tradition that bestman uses small flower and we call it "haaviehe" straight translation to english =MarriageBAIT, but in that marrige frower was real bait or keychain

piatu - your work is a joy to behold. Thank you for sharing it with us. I only wish your baits were available over here. Man - would I love to have one of those perch jigs.

Small lure manufacturers are hardtto make as large quantities to big fishingstores what they need.
And allmost all my lure i sell straight to me at here, but some of these goes overseas too.

But same model continues, but with percskin:
