Thread: Anyone heard from baitman(Keith) lately?

Yea thats to bad about that. Thats pretty low. Like you don't have enough going on over there with the new distribution and all, now this. I have tried to contact you also about a pay-pal order wondering what happen. Wanting make sure i had not done something wrong and was holding things up. Now i understand sorry to here that. Sometimes in life it seems as if we take one step forward and then two back wards. But if we stand strong we shall prevail !!!

I think it is crazy to use someone elses personal pictures to sell things. Keith definitely knows how to make awesome baits and he takes better pictures than most people in the picture taking business. His baits look so eye popping and great in the pictures as i am sure they do in person as well. If I had a ton of money I would buy many things from him. He is the one who started the ball and got this DIY soft plastics section started. He has shared a ton of info. Sometimes I wish he would share more, but I respect the fact that his income is at stake by keeping a few things secret. Supporting his family is important. What he has already shared is a ton of info. Now for the copying of a color and saying it is trademarked is crazy. There is hardly a color out there anywhere that I have not already seen or seen a very close resemblance of. Many people call the colors by different names or whatever, but when it comes down to it, most all variations of colors have been used for years in some form of fishing bait. I can create many different colors and variations, but at some point in time others have done the same thing, so for someone to trademark a color is a crazy thing to me.

Thank you crappieseeker, the person just says the are trademarked but they are not. Couldnt do it if he tried. He just says it so no one copies him. lol aint it funny how it works. As ship said we have been through this over the years and all that tried are out of business. You just cant have a successful business copying others. They may get short term sales but that wont do it. There isnt much that hasnt been done before at sometime. Its a tough business to get in to. Just think of all the supplies you have to keep up with as well as the venders you have to use. You got to think ahead so you dont run out of anything and you must account for shipping times and lost shipments. I just ordered 100,000 eyes and they will take about 3 weeks to get them in. By the time I use half of them I gotta get the next order in the works. Then you got bags,labels, colorants,glitter and plastic to think about and keep up with.
