Going from memory it seems like most lures were 2.50 for quite a spell in the late 70s throughout the 80s.

When you purchase a bottle of lure there’s more factored in the price than the contents, bottle, label, and labor of mixing and bottling.

You are buying the luremaker’s experience, time and expense spent testing, and and all other expenditures developing that lure.

Agreed, the majority of trappers support putting America first and not being hamstrung by other countries.

When I toured Mr Jameson’s “lab” I got a healthy dose of what goes into lure making. Laborious and time consuming. Anyone who devotes their life to such an undertaking is due kudos. And a few extra bucks to make it worthwhile.

Well there goes my beaver line profits right down the drain! LOL

Wait till the next fur boom, "Sum Yong Beaver" beaver lure from Amazon for $20/gallon.
