Rubberdaddy Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just wanted to let everyone know that there's been some shady things going down recently. Guys have made direct copies molded off of Mickey's baits, and are then having them painted. Those baits are then sold as "repainted" 3:16s. I would advise everyone to stay away from non factory paint schemes as you may end up with a knockoff. Mickey is obviously not going to warranty any bait that hasn't been painted by him. I would also advise everyone to steer clear of Thomas English whose SU username is s020638 as he's been caught with these baits, and admitted to his involvement. Others are involved and will be named soon. Here's a pic of the knockoff baits, look pretty close to the untrained eye.... If anyone needs help identifying whether a bait is factory painted or not please feel free to contact me via PM IsaacM619, hydrocephalic, BNI and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lux036 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 If you have the skills to copy such a complex bait. Why not make your own? Willluvstafish, BASS_SWINGER, RileyFisher12 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubberdaddy Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 If you have the skills to copy such a complex bait. Why not make your own? You consider molding someone else's bait and sending it out for paint a skill? waynem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacM619 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well that is some straight BS. This is also know as stealing. Rubberdaddy and waynem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lux036 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 because your straight up stealing the bait makers money.And what skill? it takes 0 skill to do such a thing.Not to mention hes selling them for profit and hes ripping 316 off in multiple ways I see what your saying. I've notice some of his post (guy mentioned above) he always wants to trade his 316's for someone else's. Sometimes he wants cash, but mostly trades for other 316 baits.

IsaacM619 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I almost traded my sport for a BAA and Wake Jr to Tom. AND I almost paid $350 for the BAA he had posted. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Wow, Thanks TJ for pointing this out!!!! Hopefully they aren't trying to copy the factory paint too... But Mickey's is amazing and I doubt they would come near it in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
