Snake River Award

You know folks, if I was the head fisherman in the world, I would give a big attaboy award to to Bob Hinkle also known in these parts as Snake River. That man can definitely design plastic baits for Bluegill and Crappie which is my kind of fishing. Not only that, but if you ever get a chance to talk with him, you will find that he is extremely knowledgeable and very humble. I like how he answers your questions without putting you down or making you feel like you asked a dumb question. He is always helping other members here on c.c whether it be from painting tube heads to Jilly Jigs his methods work. I just wanted to publically say that he is appreciated and if Ed has a crappie.com man of the year award that he should consider giving it to Snake. If Ed does not have a Crappie.com man of the year award he should start one and give it to Snake.

Pappy and Skip should also be given awards as they are extremely helpful too. That is what makes this forum the greatest in the world.

Thank you Bob for all that you do. Be Blessed.

I totally agree ship. I also know if me and ol snake hooked up and had the money, we could change the industry and also make some killer mold designs as well. Our suppliers make great molds, but me and ol snake really have some awesome designs we would put into action if we could. Snake has been very good to me. He has freely given me supplies to make stuff with. We share a lot of knowledge with each other, but he also has given me products at no expense out of my pocket and I know he has done this for sever others as well. He has never once asked me for a dime. I am sure he has spent close to 50 dollars in shipping stuff to me. I wish I had the money to send him, but the good man never expects anything in return. Now that is what I call an award winner. Ol Snake definately gets my vote too. I had been thinking about this same topic for a while now but never mentioned it. Thanks snake for all you have done for me.

I am truly lost for words ship . Thank you for the wonderful and kind words that you have said about me. This site has been heaven to me because this is one thing that I live for this to make plastic baits in fishing lures and help out other people on crappie.com with their problems. I'm very honored to have a good friend like you ship in thank you very much.

The thing that I like most about Bob Hinkle is his great sense of humor and the fact that he is everybodys friend.

thank you seeker also for your kind and wonderful words.

thank you G3 .

I can't see where it could hurt . Got my vote. I sure do like to pester him now and then.

My vote is in! Great service and very helpful. Got my first order from him last week and put them to use yesterday. Hope to have a pic to share sometime today.

Couldn't agree more. Hats off to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered 100 jigs from Bob just to try em out and much to my suprise there were about 225 in my package,he said he didn't like how some of mine turned out(looked great to me)so he sent me a "FEW" extras.....the man does excellent work and is a dream to do business with,he has my vote!!!

He has shared a pile of info with me. I agree. He gets my vote too. Bob is one heck of a fellow.CF

Since I came to this board I have watched how Bob has posted any new bait he was making. He share's how he does it and gives an answers to every question that anyone has. He is a big part of this board and I want to thank him for the person he is and what he does. Great work on the DIY SOFT PLASTICS Bob.:)

Great idea, I'm on it.

Thanks Slab, I was going to mention this a while back, but I knew you already had your hands full. You get my vote for best website and snake gets my vote for man of the year

Thank you Ed. This site is the best.

I will also agree with what everyone on this thread has posted. Have ordered from him and very pleased with with his products. I have also turned some others on to his baits because of some extra baits of differant types he added to my order. They were not something I would use on my home lake but knew of others that would love them. I do not pour but do enjoy reading about it and how helpfull he is with every one on here that needs it. He for sure gets my vote for member of the year. Maybe Ed can get some thing together for this year and future years. A plauqe would be very nice. I would not mind pitching in a little for one if that is the route the 2010 member of the year goes. Snake keep up the great pouring and the helpfullness you give everyone on here.

My 2 cents.....Bob is a class act, he sent my 10 year old some jigs and a hat, made the little guys day.. Not to mention the great customer service and product he supplies.......he has my vote.

thank you guys for all your kind and wonderful words .

A year or so ago I went to the jig tying board and asked for donations as door prizes to our annual spring crappiefest. There were several that offered donations and all was appreciated, but I bet Bob sent $500 dollars worth.:eek: And all his note stated was that he wanted everybody to get a door prize.:) Bob's Jigs was a hugh part in making our crappiefest a big success. I was totally overwhelmed by his generousity. IMO, Snake is top knotch and he definitely gets my vote along with Slab having the best website on the 'net....HANDS DOWN!;):)

Here's what snake River got btw:Attachment 50727Attachment 50728

again, thanks to everyone for your kind words and thank you slab for everything you have done. We appreciate every bit of it.

And the most important thing about those words is---they appear to all be true. Congrats Snake. You are going to be a hard act for others to follow in the furure.

He did a great service for my disabled veterans as well. I can completely concur with his award. He is generuos and honest . I have quietly followed every comment, transaction or general gest he has made. Unlike some I have never known him to be mean , jealous or honery towards others. Well done Snake . My hats off to you.
