Jay_Paternostro Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Never purchased anything from Andrew Hinkle before, sent him $400 over PayPal 6 months ago and he hasn't answered any of my emails. I have never purchased a bait from him before. Is this normal? I would be fine waiting a year or two for a bait I would just like to know that I didn't get scammed. Thanks in advance for anyone's help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudsplashbassn_ Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Never bought a bait from him but seems normally lol you'll get your bait but who knows when aha hit the search bar you'll see the same question asked & answered lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggerbite Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) You ain’t getting scammed. He’s horrible with communicating but delivers. Btw this is a sale forum lol The “down time” forum would be more appropriate Edited February 8, 2022 by Triggerbite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brinkerhoff150 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Same boat. I’m moving and can’t get ahold of him to provide a new address. Honestly, I don’t care if he delivers, the guy shouldn’t take a dime upfront with the way he communicates. Essentially people gifting him thousands of dollars to send a bait when he feels like it or in my case to whoever the new tenants are.

King_of_theNorth Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 I got in on a 2018 drop of trout, ended up getting it in 2019. I loved the bait and though it was worth the wait I still found it hard to justify the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4foreverfishing Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Good things take time. If you want something sooner pay double or triple on here. He always delivers but takes along time to get them. I've waited a year for baits from him before. I'm sure he works a full time job and make these on his spare time.

I’m not impatient nor am I complaining about the wait time. Like I said, I’m moving and I’d like to eventually get the bait that I paid 300+ for. I don’t care if it takes another 6 months.

185vsfrog Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Sounds like lack of communication between Andrew and the people that are paying up front for his baits. It would be nice if he would chime in. At least it would give his buyers hope of getting what they paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewsturrrr Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I sent him $650 for two TrickTrout on Dec 30, 2020… This is the last time I heard from him: Hi Andrew, apologies for the long delay and lack of communication. I am quite a bit behind on all TrickTrout orders due to a number of setbacks. I will have a label printed for your order this evening with tracking. New eta for your order is Friday 12/3. Thanks for your support and patience! Ljbassin6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whammy Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 To be fair, when he gives an expected delivery date, it doesnt include the year, just the month and day Emoney, Josh A and dqb 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
