There is a guy calling himself Sam the sinker man at the flea markets , but it is not me. I only do one market and that was the hi-mar.So if I act as if I don't know what you are talking about it's because you weren't talking to me.
This is also the time of the year to start to think about making your own bucktails..I make the ultra minnow, but if you would rather get them from one of the sponsor shops I believe that Jersey Tackle and Jersey hooker have the plain jigs along with all the stuff to finish them with..They are not mine but they also need all the help you can give them..Stop by and see Pete, Tom or Richie, I'm sure they can set you up with everything you need.

Sam.... help me out here..... early last year I bought a bunch of plain jig heads from you didnt I?? I kinda need to know because if the guy standing in my shop was not you..... I was seriously "duped" here.
Unfortunately, because of Sandy, my local fluke biz was about 70% less than the usual seasons. We were heavy into the offshore thing last year. I want to say I ordered 100 of each size? Plain heads? The very little inventory I have left is from that initial order. ( Thanks to Sandy)
So here are my 2 questions////
1- Was it you that I purchased about 100 -125 lbs of plain heads from? Because the guy said he was you, I can tell you that.
2- Do you still make them? because we are finally running low and sold out of some sizes actually.
If it was you I purchased them from... Im sorry if you assumed I was buying from another supplier and yes... it was nice to mention us.... but I'm not like the other guys Sam.... I stick with the local guys, sponsors of the local sites, as 75% of my shop is made up of guys like yourself.
This business plan actually hurts me, because I pay what the members here pay for the same products that are on my wall. Many shops do not deal with the local guys who compete against the shops .... but I try to stick it out as best I can. I pay dearly for it... trust me. But... I still do it.
Most shops throw you guys out, once they find out that your selling to their customers..... I have never done that. If it was you... I need more. If it wasnt you.....I was fooled I guess.
