Not everyone has the luxury of spoiled dudes with boats tied up in the backyard.

Wow, just looked at the ebay listing. 250.00 for a rubber trout? Screw that I'm just gonna fly line a real one and pay the ticket if I get caught.

Nadine's baby sister is gonna take it!

I use those stands when I'm on plane going from one spot to the next...avoids carpet rash.

Right on.

I would just file a claim. My claim has already been decided in my favor and awaiting a refund. Says it takes 5-7 days.

Got a message that it was moved to the mod forum...whatever that is.

Posted on SN. With him being a known swimbait manufacturer I thought no way in hell would he try to burn people for 150.00 and risk his reputation even more. Little do I know.

This is for those that are thinking about doing business with TyLure Baits in the future and what kind of integrity Tyler Ream has. Bought and paid for a 300e on Fri, Feb 14th. He advertised in the black market that he had one of each of the 300e and 301e. These are the messages as follows(copy and pasted from inbox): Subject: Shimano Curado 300 E Casting Reel one left one right BNIB Tyler wrote: Brand new Shimano Curado 300 E Casting Reels never used in box. Asking $150 each to your door with PayPal. Don't send money as friend. I will pay the fees so you are protected. PM if interested. Thanks. Me: I will take your righty if you still have it. Let me know. Thanks. David Tyler: Sold to you congrats. You can send the 150 dollars to tyler@tylurecustombaits.com and i.will let u know it went through. Thanks Sent: Fri Feb 14, 2014 6:33 pm Me: Money sent. Let me know when you send it. Ship to addy is on paypal invoice. Thanks. Sent: Fri Feb 14, 2014 6:59 pm Tyler: I will do that and it should ship tuesday or wednsday once I get back in town from my Valentine trip. Thank you. Pleasure doing business with you. I do have another if you are interested. People pay me in reels, rods, other baits and all kinds of stuff. Thanks again. Tyler Me: Thursday night and haven't heard anything. Has it shipped? This week? Next week?...let me know. Sent: Thu Feb 20, 2014 10:13 pm Tyler: Next week. Sorry for delay but they are coming in from my dad next week. He gets major deals as a rep. Sent: Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:35 pm Then 5 minutes later: I think I answered this one. If not let me know. Thanks, Sent: Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:36 pm Now I know that he didn't have them on hand like he said and that more than one person is involved as he can't even keep track of his messages. I sent this to him the next day which is still sitting in my outbox. Didn't know it was a preorder. So I'm two weeks out? I'm not in a hurry but that information should have been upfront...not the impression you had them at home(from people trading with you) and would ship when you got back tues. Pretty shady. Since then I have messaged him on SN and finally found his personal phone number on his website. Have been exchanging texts since yesterday morning wondering what it going on. Long story short he is still waiting on his dad to return "from a long way away, and with the weather it's taken longer than expected" and that he should be able to ship sat or mon and "if I were u I would wait cuz it is a great deal but it's up 2 u". Said no thanks refund my money. Don't appreciate being lied to or schemed and the 20 to 30 dollar saving on my end is not worth the hassle. If you were straight up in the 1st place then I would be cool. He stated that he would refund my money yesterday evening 2/27 to avoid a dispute from PayPal. Wanted to know my name and email address to refund..which proves again that multiple people are involved. Woke up this morning and nothing has been done of course. Sent a text "Little past "this evening". It looks as though I'm not the only one who this is being done to. Is the little money worth your rep and your name?" at 6:05 Cali time. Sent two texts back..and the second one is the best. "I had to transfer to my paypal so it will happen today. Don't worry u will refunded" And then: "Please no more texts for a couple hours I have the flu and am trying to sleep. U woke me up." Really bro? You have to be kidding me..you know this is real life right? Glad you have your priorities figured out. Had to say I was rolling when I read it. Haven't heard anything since...no refund. Opening a claim to get compensated. Members can take this for what it's worth..but this clown should be banned and feathered. To ruin your name over 400-500 bucks, being a swimbait manufacturer screwing over swimbait fisherman is unbelievable. I don't get it. Will be posting this on SN..let's see if it stays up.

Curado 300e for 150.00 is far from "too good to be true" . Ebay going rate for 2nd hand nib is 170ish...by the time you pay fees it's right there at 150.00.

Man, sorry to hear about your friend. Gone at such a young age..terrible. Praying for his family.

Bought a 300e from Tyler(TyLure Baits) on Fri, Feb. 14th. He advertised in the black market that he had one each of the 300e and 301e new in box. AFTER I paid he said he would ship out on Tues or Wed of the following week once he gets back in town(Valentines weekend). That's fine I guess, I'm in no hurry. Stated he had more than the one if I wanted as people pay him in reels, rods, lures, etc. etc. Thurs rolls around and I ask if he shipped Tues or Wed and if he had tracking. Friday(2/21) he replies Next week. Sorry for delay but they are coming in from my dad next week. He gets major deals as a rep. Sent: Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:35 pm Then this: I think I answered this one. If not let me know. Thanks, Sent: Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:36 pm Seems the "deal" was offered to more than just me. I don't appreciate being lied to or schemed. If he needed a loan for 150.00 and payment in 2/3 weeks in a 300e..maybe? After messages sent on both forums and a text sent to his phone he finally answers with(2/27) "it will be shipped Sat or Mon, and that if I was you I would wait cuz it's a really good deal". Well I will pass on that one..just refund my money. Asked if he was going to refund it today or should I just get the PayPal resolution rolling. Stated he would refund my money "this evening" and let me know by text. Said sorry he couldn't ship the reel sooner, used the excuse of "my dad is coming from a long way away and is being held up because of the weather". It's now after 10pm...not evening anymore. Haven't heard a thing.Time to file with PayPal. First shady deal I've had on this site. Seems as though his reputation is spot on..should have known better after hearing multiple stories on this guy on the forums in the last couple years. Small group of people to be constantly doing shady things to.

Traveling Don Program.....classic.

Super nice!

That's great..just choked on my coco crispies.

Get the plain E and watch your line coming into the reel. I had a power handle on a Calcutta and hated it, had the same problems described here. Gear ratio is sixes..just reel slower or faster depending on what you want to do. Fast ratio sure helps once your past your spot with your bait or once your hooked up.

If you want to play then pay...don't dig it buy some Hudds...or mow some lawns.

The best part of those baits is the hook rash

The remarks I made were based on public entities closed at dark, paid for by your tax dollars. In no way do I think it's cool trespassing on private property, no matter who owns it. If you ask and they say no then you know your not welcome. Choice is yours. Has nothing to do with fair chase, or fishing ethics. The tiny helicopters with infrared detection is unbelievable...never heard of such a thing.

Not morally wrong or cheating, unless your doing SOMEONE wrong, stealing, etc. You still have to trick them into eating a fake bait. If they won't let you fish nature centers and golf courses during the day how the hell else are you supposed to fish there? I knew a group of guys that would sneak into Marineland back in the 80's and whack giants..never hurt anyone or anything. It's not like your poaching and taking game...or shooting over your limit. I don't see anything wrong with it...but the law dogs probably would.

He definitely does not extrude his own blanks, very few rod makers do.
