These are lovely! I especially like this one.

I like the Alien ones.

There's some strange boobage going on in that Mermaid page though.

But you gotta give 'em a break - I don't think these guys have seen that many.

It shows you how times have changed: in the past you needed a mermaid to lure men on to the rocks, now a fleshlight could do it.

Wow. These are really great. As someone who fishes, I can tell you that these don't look all that odd compared to a bunch of the lures you can find at the tackle shop.

The mermaids, though, don't look like they'd swim too well--perhaps a little top heavy.

Very cool.

Tim Burton does lures.

Ah, Specklet! I was wondering what that one reminded me of. You are correct.

Very excellent.
