Do you have a lure you regret buying? Did it seem like a good idea at the time? Does it fit into the category of "Lures catch more fisherpeople than fish"?

Here's mine....paid $32.

I only have some minor regrets lingering from purchasing a few lures that didn't swim.  Thankfully most are resolved with a friendly chat.

I have a few regrets in terms of fishing lures in places they probably shouldn't be fished and losing them before I even got to have a brief look at how they performed.
