JonnyDingDongs 158 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I make small in-line spinners as a hobby and sell them to a local bait & tackle shop to avoid a ridiculous stockpile. Due to an underwhelming demand this past year, I am giving away 60 (no, that's not a typo- that's SIXTY) in-line spinners. The first 10 PM's get the following: One each of my Firetiger, Red & White, Synthetic Green, Black, and Juvenile Perch; pictured below. In addition to these, each set will include either a "Crappie Killer" mini in-line (pictured center below,) or one of my Premium spinners (either side.) There IS a catch though- (he he, puns are fun) I want you guys to get out there and enjoy them! Don't let them go to waste! It'd be pretty great if you could post pics in this thread of what you catch with them. And before you ask, (sorry, Chile ) these are not rated for saltwater. Also- shipping is on me, so don't ask about that either. Ok, let the giveaway begin!!! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SwissyJim 117 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Bummer... no saltwater. Oh well... great giveaway regardless! (Lotsa freshwater around here, but since I bought my ocean boat I haven't been on a river in 7 years!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Lotsa freshwater around here, but since I bought my ocean boat I haven't been on a river in 7 years!) Lucky duck! Yeah, not much call for saltwater by me, so I've never messed with it. Ok, I'm heading into work and we're up to 5 sets spoken for. Edit: Make ^that 6! Btw- I recommend 4-8lb test on a light or medium-light action rod for these. (I use a 5' 5" Uglystick w/a Mitchell Advochet II and 6lb Vanish line.) Edited August 31, 2012 by JonnyDingDongs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'll buy a set of USA made lures from you! Damn Mepps and Panthers are made in China now. Disgusting. Would like to try them out here in the rivers and lakes of NW Montana. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thats some nice craftsmen ship there Jimmy. I used to make my own lures when I was a kid (with mixed results) not as nice as the ones you make. You should post some piccs of them outside the bags! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would like to try them out here in the rivers and lakes of NW Montana. Thanks! I'd love to be able to sell some, but I'm pretty sure this thread would be considered "advertising." I'd hate to violate forum rules... If you can clear it with a mod, I'm all for it! ETA: Yeah, Mepps spinners piss me off. In my honest, if not humble, opinion mine are of higher quality and are not made by some Chinese kid in a sweat shop...

JonnyDingDongs 158 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 You guys are getting colder! I forgot to mention that the bonus lure only applies to those 10 who already have a package coming to them. Sorry, but shipping's gonna be a bitch as it is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 even though i was way too late getting to this party, thanks for the giveaway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyDingDongs 158 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Ok, here they are! (.45ACP added for scale) Looks like the bonus lure is going to Chile, although you technically all lost. "Closest without going over" and nobody guessed under! I sell my lures for $1.50/ea. I figured that low of a cost would throw you guys a curveball. I think I figured out one time that IF -huge if- I were to sell an entire run (200-300 lures,) I would make $0.02/hr. But hey, it's just a hobby. And the enthusiastic responses I've gotten from you guys on this giveaway makes it worthwhile. Unless I hear back from the last two of you (still need addresses), 8 of the 10 packages will ship tomorrow. The smallest envelopes I could get from the post office were friggin' huge though, so don't be surprised if I throw in some extra goodies to validate the shipping cost. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonnyDingDongs 158 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) That's a freaking steal! They look pretty bad-ass. Thanks man! Well I'm heading out to the post office to drop these packages off. I forgot to mention that I am extremely fucking lazy, so I filled out the return addresses the same way I sign everything at work: This also ensures that none of you guys can pay me for these. Enjoy! ETA: Apparently the post office requires a return address for parcels over 1/4" thick.. I didn't realize that. :-/ So my address is on there, but blurry as hell. (junky-ass sharpie) Most of you should receive these by Tuesday, according to the chick who processed them. So here we go! Everybody have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day and get out and do some fishin' next week! Edited September 1, 2012 by JonnyDingDongs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
