greenhornet Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) I just wanted to bring this to other folks attention as I don't want anyone else to get ripped off like I have been. I ordered a custom bait (Snake King Wakesmith) on March 3rd 2017 for $167 form Justin Bloxton aka. Swimbaitunderground user - Bigbaitthirty, aka Juicy Customz. I was given a time frame of 4 to 6 weeks. After around 12 weeks I made multiple attempts to contact him. No response at all. Very shortly after I opened a paypal dispute he magically got back to me. After him explaining his situation I, in good faith, dropped the paypal dispute as he promised me my bait was under construction and he would be finished soon. Contact was okay for a short time with numerous promises I still don't have a bait and he has gone MIA again. I've given the opportunity to him for a refund, snake bait, or a bait of equal value. Nothing has happened. I have kept quiet long enough and Justin has taken advantage of it for to long. I want to put this out to the community so NO ONE ELSE falls into this trap. At this point I have given up on my bait or my money. I've attached some texts, emails and a receipt. Theirs many more emails but I feel like the info I have posted is sufficient.

SPEEDBEAD Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I know you're not the only one. I've had contact with a couple different people that he's taken his sweet time with getting baits to them. I'll shoot him a FB message, maybe he'll come on here and get in touch with you.

hookedonbigbaits Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I was going to trade him an irod for one of his baits, sent the rod to him and it was destroyed in the mail. Asked him to return it so I could warranty it and that whole process took about 3 difficult weeks of communication and excuses. I decided to not continue with the trade afterward.

Triv Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 It took me quite a long time, but my bait eventually showed up, and he always got back to me. The bait is actually very well made. I was impressed. Definitely took much longer than I was originally told though. Good luck getting it figured out. BigBaitThirty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaitThirty Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Life's been a roller coaster for me lately and I certainly have dropped the ball in regards to you David Cody, I'm disheartened to learn you feel you had to take this route. A refund was never off the table. Additionally when it comes to word... you ordered two snakes then changed up on that which is an irreversible time investment on my part and really the only reason I started taking money upfront in the first place general speaking. I am late as hell and for that I am genuinely sorry. I'm no scam artist though that's for damn sure as a matter of fact my track record here alone reflects that.... Not a hiccup... I will email you when I get home so that we can hopefully settle this cordially. As for Josh Bayless that's literally a lie bro and you know it. You sent an uninsured rod and said you'd take care of it and then changed up your end of the bargain and wasted a lot of my time and I was still cool about it with no childish underhanded public blasts. There is literally no merit to your claim whatsoever. I got the short end of the stick from the jump. Then had to jump through hoops trying to help you make it right. Tell it like it is or not at all. Not sure what your incentive is to trash talk especially without the basis to do so. I guess some just chime in wanting to be part of the gossip. Here's how 100 I am... I've already made a public apology in another forum... but I will put my self on blast and openly admit I was way behind and am just now catching up. I have several dudes still patiently waiting two at least longer than David one of which I finally got sent out to Joe "Triv" I had "Boomah" just to name a few off top, waiting for days too it sucks but got them finally dialed as well, pretty sure they're both happy. Granted not everyone is as patient or understanding nor willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I personally would never want to accuse someone of wrong doing and attempt to smear their name if I wasn't absolutely certain they were out to "Not Allowed" me over. In any case I value my membership here as well as this community and my customers and formally again publicly apologize this has become an ordeal. It'd be nice if we can stand behind each other rather than be so ready to tear one another down. I have tons of immaculate dealings with folks on hear alone buying and selling hopefully that alone can help keep the hype train of hysteria at bay. Lastly may it be known I learned my pre-order lesson the hard way particularly with accepting money upfront. From now I will opt to build first and only sell immediately available product.
