Sinkers at flea market prices

[The Sinker Man]

After reading Tom's post above, I called him. I did at one time drop off a bunch of plain jig heads to him. I did not realize at the time I made my post that he still had some..As plain jig heads became more popular there have been guys that used to make just finished bucktails making plain ones and selling them with the finished ones..I do not blame them nor do I blame the tackle shops for buying from many different suppliers..I get many calls from guys asking where they can get the supplies to finish their bucktails. I try to promote the shops that carry that stuff even though they don't buy from me.Tom just happens to have some of my jigs and he also has the stuff to make complete ones..Kevin might even have some of the heads left..Those are the only 2 shops that MIGHT have some.I don't go from shop to shop or from boat to boat trying to sell stuff..I'm not that way..Maybe that's why I only deal with a handful of CB and one party boat. Tom was right, most shops don't like to deal with people that compete against them..Well then they must be really pissed off at all the flea markets that are going on in their areas right now..Not to mention e-bay..So in conclusion if you need a handful of this or that or some fine quality handtied rigs, stop into any of our sponsor shops and pick some stuff up..they had a bad year with Sandy and all the nasty weather that we have been having.
Gerry if this doesn't belong here or anyplace else, then take it down!!!!!

This whole thing here was a misunderstanding but it shows just how bad things have become. We use Sam " The Real Sinker Man" for our jig heads and other products..... you have to stick with a good thing when you find it!!

Sam has brought to light a good topic here.... with all of the games being played and the way there is no more loyalty in this business!!!

I am glad we spoke, as I was unaware of what has been going on and I looked deeper into it and it seems my employees have also been fooled by a certain somebody claiming to be Sam as far as sinkers go.

I want to make it clear..... we use the good jigs, made by Sam, the original "plain jig head" guy here. I also wanted to clear this up because I did not want to be placed into the company of other shops that would do anything to save a penny! We hear the things said, we hear the deals being made, we laugh at them...... and we continue to do our thing. We go with that old "Sticks & Stones" saying..... but I admit I get a little upset if I am placed into the company of these guys ..... thats my big issue.

We need more of the smaller sizes, I am sending over the order today Sam. Cant beat the quality, the hooks and the fact that they are true to the sizes. I am glad this is straight as far as Jersey Tackle. The other guys who save a penny and jump ship.... thats their business.... but we are sticking with Sam.
