The thought of that fills me up.

Folks like you are 3:16's business plan and you don't even know it. Like I stated, cudos to Mickey for doing an awesome job as conductor of his own personal "hype train". PS. I like the bait and would fish it. But on my waters, I can do as much damage with a Buzzjet and you don't have to preorder and wait on those.

Can you state an example in the "corporate world" of a company that wants you prepay (in full) for an order with no delivery date stated?

I wonder if Mr and Mrs Mickey hook up the computer to the big screen TV and just "hee-haw" till they can't breath watching their Paypal account blow up every time they do one of these pre-orders. Very nice looking bait, however I think its a bit much for a 5" bait that really doesn't have a gill profile, however my hats off to Mr and Mrs Mickey for an awesome business model they have created. Maybe 3:16 should start taking offers and charge another 3% for using Paypal?

I have a couple of GTS BBC7116-1 with 300e's. One with #50 braid for topwater and the other with #15 flouro for 175's. Mine are the older model with the short spilt rear grip and no fore grip. I believe the new models have lots of cork on both sides of the reel. For me the shorter handle is a plus for working punkers and it's got plenty of tip to let you feel the bait and not just pulling on it with a big ass stick. I like em for up to about 3.5 ounce baits. I think the 6 ounce rating is a bit optimistic to say the least.

Its Al Gores fault for inventing the internet. Too many self proclaimed pros that get butt hurt over not getting the attention they think they deserve.

They are not designed to fit flush together to allow the ferrule to wear over the years.

I was on the list and he messaged me and said he wasn't happy with the way they swam and was not offering them any longer. He said they didn't swim near as good as his wood baits.

You're welcome. I'm glad ya posted cause I was wondering the same thing. I've had 2 really good blow ups on it, but no hook ups so far.

Do you have the line tied directly to the bait? If so try a split ring or a snap. You're gonna have to teach it to swim like a snake with the retrieve. Slight pauses as you reel will give you the most snake like retrieve. Slow is the key it seems. Its not a chunk and wind lure for sure.

Thanks. Another member PM'd me with the same info. I guess sometimes the obivous is the easiest thing to overlook.

Any source that has them in stock? Thanks ~ Mark

Paid on Friday ~ recieved the bait well pack on Monday with an extra surprise ~ Lighting fast shippin and excellent communication!

Google "Throbber" by Whopper Stopper ~ the spring and the weight thingie was done back in the 70's and was a big flop The way the maker described it in the 2nd older model bait he put it in, I'd be willing to try it I'm looking forward to tryin em too. I like Deps, as matter of fact Deps is pretty much what got me back interested in bass rustlin'.

Very well packed, on time communication and as advertised ~ what a great guy to do business with ~ thank you!

I made some purchases on-line this morning and sell price was still good. When I went to actually check out and pay the sale had been pulled. I sent em a email. They replied quickly and ask me to call them and they would honor the sale prices. What a great place to do business with, they where super nice on the phone and sent me a free t-shirt too.
