I think that if castor went to $100 a pound, I'd do like Bogmaster, and quit making lures that contain castor, such as Backbreaker. I'm not in favor of raising the prices any more in the near future. I would lose money making Backbreaker if I had to pay $100. a pound.

It has "hurt" to dip into the castor bucket these last few years so a bit of relief would help the lure makers. At $100 a lb. I'd be crying as I dipped. Big tears too.

I realize there are factors involved, but on the average how many beavers does it take to get a pound of castor?
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

How many ounces by volume are in a pound of castor?

How much Castor goes into a season of lures and bait making for a Mark June or John Chagnon type operation? I am playing in the water this spring because nothing better to do. I might be interested in trading some Castor for lures if I can score enough Castor in the next 2 weeks.
