    Default Well its official


    We have made the jump from do it yourself to full fledged manufacturer. With the amount of work coming in for wholesale we have had to limit all sales from our site by adopting a high minimum order. We are running 3 to 8 weeks delivery times and the work just keeps coming in with some stores willing to wait 10 weeks before there first orders are delivered. I just cant be leave the amount of work we have, We are trying to find some help to bring in but thats not a real easy task. Its come along way but still has a ways to go to be where I want it to be, but it all started making baits for myself and a few friends. So it can be done for those that are wanting it but be aware that its not easy and its a long road. My only goal from the start was to be able to pay the bills with out working for someone else and to do what I enjoy doing. For now I am there but only because the Good Lord allowed it to happen. We have been truly blessed.

    Well brother you chased a dream that I wish I could chase as well but it's great to see a good guy win one. I hope it continues for you.Remember when the going gets tough you are living out my dream. I know you will make us all proud
    In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax
