A mate of mine never bothered with the bag, he always said "you never look at the mantle piece when stoking the fire"
 
Not sure what he meant but it sounded good.          LOLWink

I made a lot of Deceptions in my time as a lure maker, never sold one to a fish, fish got no money Wink! You gotta hook a fisherman before he can hook a fish. Come to think of stomp pedals are the same for guitarists? Just got have one more LOL

Lures should be made to catch fishSmile
There are a lot of novelty and not so great fish catching lures that sell well due to good marketing but once everyone has the new novelty item or realises the "latest and Greatest" lure is a fish catching fizzer the demand and sales taper off.
If you want to sell lures and survive as a small maker, getting those repeat sales from a top notch product that really work's is better than just packaging and marketing Crud  
 
I'll alway's make lures that catch fish firstThumbs Up
