Ishler Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I am curious if any body has felt much with Phoney Frogs. I had purchased a shad glide. The thing looks great and swims awesome. I was counting it down and running it passed some deep submerged logs and it had pulled multiple 8 plus pounders. Unfortunately the first trip it had lost a fin or two. By the third trip out I had lost almost all of them including the tail. I have been trying to reach out to dude for a couple months trying to buy a new set of fins for it. The only time I get a response is if I say something on one of his posts. He has never responded to emails or my dm's. He responds on the post comment saying to dm him and he will get me some but again and again I get no response. Im just curious if any other of you guys has had issues. Im thinking I am just going to have to make my own tail and forget about the rest of the fins since I don't believe the affect the action.

Primus Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 That seems like a poor way to do business, he needs to follow up with you . Ishler and StriperAddict 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHeINFamoUS Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I have a phoney that met its demise on the corner of a concrete piling. Bait is unusable so I can pull the fins off and send em to you. Pm me your address and I’ll try to get em in the mail this week. art SKSlide, DirtyMitten, Morph808 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattGbaz Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Maybe try adding a very small amount of superglue to keep them in. That’s what I do with my tt tails Ishler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Swimbaits Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I messaged him on Instagram and he just left me on seen. I used to really dig this guys baits but I’m definitely disappointed in the durability of the bait. The fins were basically done after 3 fish and after the bottom fin came out it just noses up cause the weights a little uneven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishler Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I had the same issues. He says he will sell them then never follows through. Buyers beware. I don't think it would be that hard to sell some fin sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Swimbaits Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I picked up a hinkle to replace my phoney. Never been happier to switch BassJunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippinlips2win Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I can tell you he is a class act. He has never hesitated to correct something even if it was my fault it happened. They are fish catchers as well. I know he was having some connectivity issues for a while as they live in the boonies. Try fb or send me your info to my email and I will reach out for you. They don’t sponsor me and I get nothing out of this except helping a fellow fisherman out. BPayne and Dink whisperer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
