I see your point. And this is a hundred percent speculations on my part. But I believe Vic gives his good baits to people that could produce for him. There no doubt that out of all the members on this forum that you stick you fish consistently. Same with Danny. He caught some great fish on the hater. And I believe at one point he was trying to give Miliken a few baits as well. So it makes sense to give the guys that stick fish consistently functioning baits.(Again this is pure speculation)
To everyone else the quality control is overlooked and they are stuck with a turd with treble hooks and bill.
The tolerance I don’t have is the personal disrespect I’ve had from him.
