making and selling your lures

after yall make and tie yalls lures how do u go about selling them and how much do u charge for them i know you have to figure up how much money you have invested in your materials and what not but how do i figure out how much to charge per jig(s) cause i have all theys molds and jigs made up and fishing weights made that ill never use and probaly never use and im not sure how much to charge and how many to sell per pack so im in question here im not trying to sell anything on C.C im just curious how yall do it so i know what i can tell my friends and co-workers when they ask me how much i charge to make fishing weights and lures i dont want to tell them some outragous price for something i enjoy doing and making

thanks C.J.

this has been discussed alot...check back into the past threads and you will see it

you need to factor in your materials and your TIME! I sell my crappie jigs for .99 cents each.

Give them away to friends or trade them for other stuff... is what I do.

i do the same gcd. trade alot of jigheads also

I keep it easy, I pick what I want to sell and price them to buy what I need to make more. I doubt I will ever get much more than that out of them.

My advice would be trade for stuff or just give 'em away. Would never encourage anyone to try to make money at a hobby they enjoy. Sure way to kill the enjoyment. Now if building baits is your passion then jump in whole hog.

i usually just give them away but i have some older friends that insist on paying me and im just not sure what to tell them
