MarkH024 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 No choice but to wait. That's how retailworks. You could always find it elsewhere and cancel your TW order. bdpettit and evilcatfish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not a good idea to ever order a bo item on tw. I order direct when i see that including hudds. Az_urban_swimbaiter and fishaholic211 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedonnguyen Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 from what i've heard from other retailers, they've had standing orders with Huddleston for about 8 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhoward622 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Retailers like TW are dependent on the manufacturer filling the orders they place and sending them the baits they order. If you back order, they will get it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc626 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 The best time to buy swimbaits is during the summer months. Especially in trout patterns. I guess you can do a WTB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triv Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 i'm in the same boat.. waiting on a 9'' Slammer.. Cancel that order and call Mike directly. Why buy through a retailer is the maker is easily reached? evilcatfish, bassing305 and Tuna Meltdown 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Meltdown Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Cancel that order and call Mike directly. Why buy through a retailer is the maker is easily reached? I agree. Mike can usually build, paint, and send out a bait within a few weeks if not sooner. Send him an email or facebook message, he usually responds really fast.

bigpoppabass Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) from what i've heard from other retailers, they've had standing orders with Huddleston for about 8 weeks Early in the year hudds were basically unavailable at tw for several months. I was checking site didnt need em right away so no biggie. When time came, still na on site, but order filled promptly at hudd site (never had issues like other folks) ....btw mike shaw is great but you still have to catch em at right time in production cycle to get the bait you want.
