See June is now at $7.50 an ounce on his lure! I understand that people are trying to make a living off this industry. It’s just kinda disheartening with probably the worst fur prices we’ve ever seen , everything around us is going up in price. I encourage everyone to cut corners that makes sense try to keep your cost down. Make your own bait lure etc...

I refuse to cut corners.
I think $7.50 is fair considering one fox will buy almost two ounces of lure.

I started the lure price increase. Here's my post about the increase. Mike, perhaps you can understand things from my perspective. "Due to the increase in cost of producing my lures, I had to raise my lure prices. As I stated recently on here, I was making very little on my lures and needed to increase the price if I was going to continue offering them for sale. I wanted to give y'all a heads-up, so that when you went to order lures, you'd already know about the increase.
I could have diluted the lures, or used inferior ingredients to keep the prices the same and make more profit. However, the lures would have suffered and I have too much pride in my lures to do that. I'd prefer to get out of the lure business before I'd put lures out there that were not up to the standards they have been over the years. Besides, dad would have a fit if he were here and knew I had lowered the standards on the lures he formulated.
Anyway, now the prices are as follows. 1 ounce - $7.50 4 ounce - $25.00 pints - $80.00 Bait Solution - $25.00 Beaver and Bobcat Medley - $20. per pint"Here's the post - https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/6211221/Lure_price_increase#Post6211221

Another thing to consider is that a lot of those bottles of lure are sold by lure makers at wholesale price to dealers for resale, which squeezes the profit margins even tighter. The market is the market. Will be interesting to see how things play out. I’m just glad my office doesn’t get complaints about how much Lure is in a bottle. I wouldn’t want to have to open a bunch of bottles to check the net contents. Since they are glass I would need to open all of them to get the tare weight of each bottle. No thank you!

I get it it’s not a knock to any lure maker out there why do it if you can’t make money ! I assure you the price of a NC coyote hasn’t tripled! I will continue to buy June’s lures because they catches fur but I will try to keep cost down anyway I can! I think that’s just good common sense.

These are one of the few things (lures) that are still made in North America. Be glad there isn’t any foreign steel or aluminum in them or they’d be higher yet.

Mr Dobbins i sent you a package and a letter awhile back telling you what I thought about your products and your price increase and if you stop making Backbreaker or change the way you make it I might have to make another trip and there might be some furniture moving, Lol .like I said real trappers know quality and that's what you make. Spending a few extra dollars for quality is always a good idea.(PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK)

Heck, I feel very fortunate to have great lure and bait makers....I’d pay more just to use their products...
Not sure what I would do if the great makers around here were not making lures and baits...
I’ve always thought the pricing was very fair....
I just work overtime to make it happen...I figure 8-12 hours of overtime is easy compared to making any lure or baits... Plus I’m clueless on where to start...

I use to think like you, but know I'm trying to build up a line of lures. "What was I thinking" lol it is fun to work up a batch and test it out i learned a lot in the 5 years.

I hate to say it but I think a lot of good lures and baits would be considered underpriced if I was the owner of the company The fur market for the most part is deplorable to say the least. I feel it is very difficult to show any profit for most trappers on the line today that do not use "trappers math".
What a lot of trappers do not think about when purchasing a lure is the hours of grinding, bottling, testing, tweaking, more testing, and on and on. I have fooled around making some lures since the 1970's. Coming up with a consistent reliable lure is more work than most realize.
I would not discourage anyone from the enjoyment of making some lures to test out of their own, but I would suggest going slow. I have a fair amount of money tied up in quality ingredients such as muskrat musk, top quality fish oil, civet, caster, oil sacs (I can supply my own caster and oil sacs most of the time) and on and on. You can get a fair amount of money tied up just sitting on a shelf waiting to be put into formula and tested.
I too cringe when I place a lure or bait order so I am discerning. But then again I cringe when spending any money! LOL It costs money to make good lures and baits so I am willing to purchase good stuff.
If I want to cut expenses I look at streamlining the operation. I am getting older so this is a bit tougher in some instances. How can I be smoother? How can I be faster? How can I cover more ground? How can I use less energy yet produce better results? How do I analyze accurately just what I should be doing or which fur should I be concentrating on? How much time and energy can I expend and keep up with other duties? All difficult questions of varying degrees.
No trapper wants to see supplies, lures etc. go up, but no one expects to see them go the other way either. Good stuff pays.

how do you get by with only one ounce of good lure?
if you don't think what your using is worth the price don't buy it
except for a few guys trapping western coyotes and cats your not going to have any profit even if the stuff was free.
you could just go to 100% blind set foot traps and snares

Mic, I have 2 things in the works. And you just keep making that gland lure and we won't need to buy anything.
Evidently a lot of folks DO think that lure can be the magic bullet that'll catch em all.

I have dabbled a little bit with making my own baits and lures, and I will GLADLY pay someone else to do it. I am better suited to do other things which make money to purchase quality products made by Americans.

Quality doesn't cost, it pays.
I can appreciate the effort and dedication that goes into making a quality lure. There's a lot of pride, effort and cost in every bottle.

If you have a favorite lure that works consistently year after year for you then you would pay more then they are asking now!

H Fitzgerald, you don't know what Mic catches, clearly.
Anyone who's commented on fur prices, nafa, nta, lure cost, gas prices, etc is a crybaby? C'mon man.
People are more than welcome to buy as much of whatever they want with their own money. But it's not all that necessary in my humble opinion.

Like Law Dog said I would be willing to pay way more than current lure prices for my go to lures. The higher prices only hurt when we are trying new lures(and we all can’t resist doing that). [b][/b] I can.

I know of a good NY fox trapper that caught 34 red fox on a one ounce bottle of lure. That makes $7.50 an ounce sound like chicken feed. About 21 cents a fox.

I’ve found buying my lure in 4 oz bottles helps cut the cost considerably.

I'm sure most luremakers will trade lure for glands,so a trapper that catches any amount of fur should be able to get his lure at no real added cost. With the price of castor where it is now,I find it more prudent to sell castor and buy beaver lure.

With fur prices currently in the tank the use of lure is even more important in connecting with the target species.
You can use just about anything to catch anything however the time lost making a set that plugged with an undesirable species is still a cost.

I would be upset to get a lower quality product. I would prefer to pay more to keep getting what I've been getting for years.

No one ever likes price increases but when I think of how many sets I make with a 4oz bottle of good lure the price per set is extremely low. Half a Q-tip soaked in lure tucked in backing rounded table spoon of bait down 12 inch deep hole and done. I have a friend who traps near me that I watch pour lure at lip of hole who will use 5 times as much lure as I do making considerably less sets. When I got back into trapping I followed the instructions on a bottle of Lenons Coyote All Call and used a dab the size of a bean and it worked so I have tried to stick to that amount to this day plus I am as big a cheap skate as you will ever find. Need to research how to remove glands and store them so I can take them to Hoosier Trappers Supply and let them get some good out of them.

Some will complain about lure about lure price increases but, continue to dispose of skinned animals with out removing glands and meat to be used as bait and lure, traded for bait and lure, or sold out right. Not wanting to argue here. Just stating observations. Example would be selling fur on the carcass.

I wonder how many guys will use their lure 'collections' up instead of paying more for the same product? I know I will. Im glad I stocked up a few years ago.

As a lure maker for 34 years commercially, I appreciate the understanding from many of you on the lure price increases. Most lure businesses are family owned and operated and the profit margin pays the bills. It's actually a dwindling art form, much like many of the outdoor vocations these days. Fewer and fewer folks go outside and fewer still want to grind animal glands on a hot spring day.

Steel and stainless steel are up considerably. Everyone is gonna get sticker shock when they compare trap and supply prices to the year before! Nothing can be done, we live in a capitalist society, suppy and demand, but if folks don't make enough money.....why do it? That is the bottom line! Now you know why the J Hook Tool price needed to be increased. Material,time and shipping.
