I was getting peeved at the prices in Australia for freshwater and Saltwater lures so lately I've been group buying lures from this site LandBigFish - Fishing Tackle Martketplace (http://www.landbigfish.com/) me and my fishing buddies buy all at once then split the freight costs. The rapala lures on that site start at $5.50 US and the same lure here in Aus is upwards of 20 bucks. Now that we have parity with the U.S I'm gunna stock up.

Not done much in the way of lure fishing.
COULD be interested next time you are ordering,maybe an AULROFISHO group order into the future???

Great idea. I always end up buying a few lures at the last minute before going away and paying $20 each. I feel slightly violated each time, so I will purchase a bunch and keep them ready for future trips.

"Air shipping and handling will be 20% to 40% of the total order with a minimum shipping charge of $30.00."

Not worth doing a group - shipping is a % of total cost. So you will never save anything grouping orders together (assuming you order at least 4-5 lures at a time to break the $30 mark).

Thanks for the link though! I hadn't thought of buying lures online... :)

We order a few hundred dollars each when we do a group buy and save a truck load, spliting the freight between us

I placed my order today, between the 2 of us we ordered 30 lures. The whole lot was $250 Inc Delivery( $25 each for delivery) which is approx $8.30 for each lure. I know that those lures are $20+ each here,
