119bowhunter Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I ordered a 9” slammer through ebait on January 7th, still no updates... I looked through some old threads on here and see that a wait is pretty normal, but curious if anyone has ordered recently and how long you waited? It says 6-10 weeks on ebait but I’m anxiously awaiting it as we’re getting some warm spring days here and I’m ready to hit the water with it!

CaliforniaRigged Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I ordered in December and just received 2 weeks ago. I would just email ebait and ask for an update 119bowhunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Next time I would suggest ordering directly with the guy that makes them- Mike Shaw. basskickinrednick, hydrocephalic, 185vsfrog and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure ebaits is owned by Mike Shaw. 1 hour ago, 119bowhunter said: I ordered a 9” slammer through ebait on January 7th, still no updates...

Did you look up your order under Order Status in the top right hand corner of the webpage? I'm genuinely curious. I never saw that tab when I ordered off the site about a year ago. It took about 3 months to get my slammer. I did get a email notification when it shipped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely will do that next time, but his website linked to ebait so I just assumed that was the best way to go about it 13 minutes ago, 207klasher said: Pretty sure ebaits is owned by Mike Shaw.

I did, it says the status is “processing”, I’m not complaining as I’m still within the timeframe quoted I was just wondering if anyone had any recent updates... I did pick up a 7” on the black market awhile back but I’ve got some trout fed lakes I’m wanting to throw this one on this spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim137a Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I dealt with ebaits in the past - was waiting on a bait for a month or so and emailed them - got a quick response telling me where my bait was in the process. bottom line - shoot ebaits a friendly email and you’ll get a response.

Frezzy Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yeah, ebaits is responsive. I just got 2 slammers a few weeks from them. It took the full 10 weeks. Ordered another from them last week as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan B Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 My 9 inch slammer took 3 months to ship. Ordered 8/23/20 shipped 11/24/20. I emailed a couple times but did not speed it up any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Frog Man Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I'm pretty sure that they're made to order from ebaits. So when you put in an order, then Mike starts the build process, then to paint. I just looked up my order history and they were $34.99 in 2014 with no wait.

waynem Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 If you go on the MS Slammer website you will see a "Buy Direct" tab at the top. You can do that or call the telephone # listed. I am assuming eBait takes a pretty good percentage of the selling price. I would rather have 100% of my money go to the bait maker rather than splitting it between the maker and a distributor. I get it that you can't do that very well with a big manufacturer like Daiwa, Deps, etc., but for little guys like Mike Shaw I always try to go direct. Without swimbaits there is no swimbaiting. 119bowhunter, SVT THUNDER and basskickinrednick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harshwaters Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If i ever need a Slammer i contact Mike Shaw directly thru Instagram. He's quick to reply. Ordered one on Jan. 18 and it was shipped out last Thursday. Jim137a, waynem and 119bowhunter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
119bowhunter Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Update, if I log in to ebait it now lists "picking" as my order status rather than "processing", I'm going to count that as progress since something has changed haha Bsampson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
