Why is there such a price range for what looks like the same lure?
Short answer
Three reasons in our own sample: the body material (zinc alloy, lead or composite), the number of colourways in the pack, and whether the printed unit is a piece or a bag.
In detail
A per-bag price on a 7-colour assortment is not comparable to a per-piece price on a single spoon, and treating them as comparable is the most common mistake in this type.
Where this answer comes from
Part of the product record Spoons and spinners from China: the widest unit-price spread in our sample (Spoons and spinners). The record carries the tables this answer is drawn from, the fields a factory needs before quoting, and an explicit list of what has not been verified.
