High Power Swimbaits Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just wanted to let the members here know what has been going on for those who don't know. Early March we were getting ready to ship out about half of the orders people had been waiting on for a long time. I had struggled with production all winter due to not feeling well somethings that just didn't make sense although we had had terrible weather this winter for making baits and my wife was slowly getting sick again. To make a very long story short the house where we were living was damaged. An inspection of the damage turned up some things that had been hidden that had been revealed by the damage that was covered up. I hired a certified mold specialist to do an inspection and he told us the house wasn't safe to live in. So I have a sick wife, four kids, and two cats (one of which was sick we assume from the mold and died at the vets office as we were moving)and no place to live. But we found a place and were able to move. So this explains most if not all of our health problems, other production problems with the baits etc. the past few years etc. The house was in a nice neighborhood looked fine in appearance but had hidden issues we couldn't see. So in that sense we are glad we have found out it was the house and we could get away from it. So we have now moved and started producing baits in a much better shop and started to get our life back on track. I did lose well over a month of work time and about a months worth of damaged baits through all of this. So I will start leaving updates on facebook etc to let everyone know where I am on baits. Right now it looks like around forty days to get all of the orders made and shipped. My daughter will start helping again sometime in May and we are going to do some more six inch baits. We just don't have an exact date yet to take those orders. fishnchips35, johnnnydukess, BigBaiter and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynem Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Like everyone else that is on your waiting list, I'd love to have the baits in my hands today. But in life things happen, and you need to take care of your family first. Thanks for the update and hope things improve for you with the move. timcauliffe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoopdaloop Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Everytime I sent Randall a message asking about an update on the unicorn meat he always replied within the day. Ya the wait sucks but it's worth it. I never once was worried about my money nor the quality of the product I received. Glad you're doing well Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
