We’ve heard about diamond-encrusted earphones, a million-dollar cellphone spangled with glitter, an MP3 player of diamonds and gold and even a Kodak V570 digital camera festooned with $20,000 worth of shiny rocks. But this one takes the cake, the million-dollar fishing lure from MacDaddy’s Fishing Lures. It’s made of three pounds of gold and platinum,…
