MOQ runs 100 to 2,000 pieces, a 20x spread on the same three rows. The three rows are three different builds: a soft skirt bait, a metal sequin jig with a skirt, and a resin-head Kona trolling lure. The US$0.08 row carries the 2,000-piece MOQ; the US$2.80 row carries the 100-piece MOQ. Skirted trolling lures are the one type in our catalogue where the head material is a named, visible selling point. This is the smallest type in our catalogue and the clearest illustration of the rule that runs through all of them. Three listings, US$0.08 to US$2.80, MOQ 2,000 down to 100. Nothing about the word 'skirt' explains a 35-fold spread - but the head does. A soft bait with a skirt, a metal jig with a skirt and a moulded resin head are three manufacturing processes at three price levels. It is also the type where the named part is visible to the customer. Most tackle specifications are dimensional - millimetres, grams, hours. A Kona head is a name, and it is a name a big-game buyer recognises. That makes it the one type here where the specification can legitimately start with a word rather than a number. Our octopus skirt sample holds 3 listings from US$0.08 to US$2.80 per piece - a 35x spread. MOQ runs 100 to 2,000 pieces, a 20x spread on the same three rows. The three rows are three different builds: a soft skirt bait, a metal sequin jig with a skirt, and a resin-head Kona trolling lure. The US$0.08 row carries the 2,000-piece MOQ; the US$2.80 row carries the 100-piece MOQ. Skirted trolling lures are the one type in our catalogue where the head material is a named, visible selling point. The high end of this type is a big-game product with its own retail channel, not a general tackle-shelf item. What moves the unit price Across the whole range, the head is the product. Cost driver Why it moves the price How to control it in the order Head type and material No head, a cast metal head and a moulded resin head are three manufacturing processes at three price levels. Name the head type first. It explains most of a 35x spread on its own. Skirt material and strand count Silicone and rubber differ in cost, and strand count is hand or machine time. Name the material and the count; 'octopus skirt' describes neither. Skirt attachment Hand-tying is a labour line that banding is not, and it changes the failure mode. Quote both and decide which failure rate you accept. Rigging A rigged trolling lure adds hooks, leader and knots at a low unit value. Quote rigged and unrigged separately. MOQ shape The 2,000-piece floor sits on the cheapest row and the 100-piece floor on the dearest. Compute first-order cash, not unit price. Three builds, and what each one is Every row is priced by how much of a lure it is. Read top to bottom: the price triples as build complexity grows.

How much do octopus skirt lures cost from China? Our sample of 3 listings runs US$0.08 to US$2.80 per piece - a 35x spread, the clearest in our catalogue. What is a Kona head? A moulded head shape used on big-game trolling lures, usually resin, that pushes water and keeps the skirt running at trolling speed. What is the MOQ for skirted lures from China? 100 to 2,000 pieces in our sample - a 20x spread on three rows. What decides skirt length? The target species and the trolling speed, and the two are related. Silicone or rubber skirts? Silicone holds its shape and costs more; rubber is cheaper and deforms sooner. Should the lure arrive rigged? It changes the price and the pack. Is the high end of this type a tackle-shop product? Not usually. How do I compare two skirted lure quotations? By head type, skirt length, strand count and whether the lure is rigged. What to send for a comparable quote Fields a factory needs before the answer is a quotation rather than a guess. Field Why it changes the price Head type None, metal or moulded resin; this is the field that separates the three builds Head weight in grams Sets trolling depth and speed window Skirt length in mm The most visible field on the shelf and the one buyers compare Skirt strand count and material Silicone or rubber; strand count decides the silhouette Skirt attachment Band, collar or hand-tied; decides whether it survives a season Body construction Soft plastic, metal body or resin head Hook configuration Single, double or a trolling hook set, with the gauge Leader and rigging Whether the lure ships rigged, and with what Colourways Big-game ranges are usually small and specific Pack format Single, small pack or bulk What to agree in writing, and the tolerance to name Skirted lures fail at the skirt and at the head. Two fields cover both. Field What the order has to state Tolerance or standard to name Skirt length Millimetres, measured relaxed Name the band; skirt length is the field buyers compare on the shelf Skirt retention The force at which a strand must not pull free State a pull force and the test method Head weight Grams, and whether the hook is included Name the band and say what it includes Head material Metal or resin, named Name it; 'hard head' is not a specification Trolling speed window The speed range the lure is designed to run at State the range; a lure that blows out at speed is a returned unit What we have not verified We hold no measured trolling-speed or skirt-retention data for any lure in this sample.
