I saw these folks mentioned in a In-Fisherman article this winter and their web address was also in there. on 2/2/14 I placed an order with them for some of their Bloodlust soft baits. I paid for this through my PayPal account. It is now almost three months later and no baits. I have repeatedly called and left messages on their voice mail but have never received a rely from them. I also have e-mailed them several times and again no reply. Has anyone had any experiences with this company?
Sorry to hear that and what a shame they got publicity through in-fisherman and then puke!
They used to be members here. But, they went commercial and left the site. I've purchased from them, back when they were members, and had nothing but good results. They do make some awesome baits, but when they went commercial, they stopped making the one bait I purchased. I had another member, Snake River, make that bait for me ... as he has the same mold. As I understand it, Microspoons (Keith/Jessica Pace) sold that particular mold when they went commercial ... so there was no infringement on any patent or intellectual property, by having someone else copy/clone that particular shaped bait.
You might try and contact them through their Facebook account. Or you may have to deal with trying to get a refund from PayPal.

Hate to hear that you may want try there face book account I think it is under the name you have mentioned
Sorry to hear that. File a claim with PayPal and I can promise you'll get your money back, or your product.
Keith and Jessica sold out to a company in Washington or Oregon-----I am certain it was one of the states.They moved from Ga back to New Orleans.
Try to open a claim immediately. You only have 45 days from date of money transfer to open a claim. If you can't open a claim, contact PayPal at this # 1.888.221.1161. Have your transaction # and your ID (if you have one) at the ready.Quote:

I just received a e-mail reply from Jessica at Microspoons. She told me that since December her three girls have had broken bones, two surgerys one of with was for heart issues and probaby fourty trips to the doctors. She said she is still going to fill my order. I feel a little sorry for her after hearing that. She apologized for missing my phone messages and e-mails. Thought I would share the update with you.
Thanks for that update !! Sorry to hear that Keith & Jessica's girls are having so many health issues. That's been an ongoing problem for them.

I have been waiting for 5 months for an order I paid for. While the latest info is the news of their daughters medical problem is the cause for the delay. This doesn't add up to me. I have numerous emails where I was constantly promised the baits in a week. Then more emails about huge increases in business. Always the message was "We are getting your baits out this week" when I would enquire. My last email several weeks back has not been answered nor can I get a response from voice mail. If their daughter has medical problems I certainly have empathy for them....but this goes way beyond that. They have a lot of folks money. If you can't fill the orders refund the money...I paid with a debit card as when I purchased there was no PayPal option on the site. If they sold a thousand folks the same package of baits I bought that is forty two thousand dollars. The number sold is probably much higher with the exposure by In-Fisherman. This is my last time to bite on an In-Fisherman article on a mom and pop bait company. I got burned couple of years back on some tungsten jigs out of Washington state I believe it was. I was able to get in touch with a bait company out there that told me that company left thousands hanging after they got the money they closed down. There really is no place to turn for those of us left hanging. I wish their daughter the best but certainly no way to run a business.

Custom JigNSpins out of Iowa. They flutter which is used from my group in IL for aggressive fish. Use Northland spoons for more of a vertical approach for fish that do not take the horizontal JignSpins. Take the hooks off and reattach with split rings which makes a light bite cam inside the mouth before the spit it! More hookups!!! Learned a lot using a underwater camera. Use 1/16 and 1/8.
You might want to post your problem to their Facebook page. They are no longer members of Crappie.com ... so there's not much chance of us being able to help you, in this situation.Quote:

I received my order I believe about a week ago. A note was attached saying she was sorry for the long delay. That is about all I know. Their product appears to be high quality.
sorry to hear all the problems with micro spoons Keith is an outstanding plastic bait maker he has the highest quality that I've ever seen unfortunately that he's having problems but I wish his family all the best on a recovery of his daughter.
BOB.
Wanted to let everyone know I finally received my order of the Domination Fry. There was a note included with apology for the nearly 7 month delay. They are now doing business in a different way by only selling what they have that is ready to be shipped. The product looks great and am excited to try it out.

Like a wise man once said....No Need To Tie Up Your Money Until I have Something To Tie On Your Line....seems to work better that way....
I'm not sure but sounds like it is getting close to mail fraud.
While I think they mishandled the whole thing I don't now think any fraud was ever intended. They must have received an overwhelming number of orders after the In-Fisherman article and no way could they fill them. They should have communicated this in a much better way to customers to keep us abreast of the situation. I have checked their site now and it is much different....only selling what they have on hand.

I have been where I couldn't get tied what I needed to, but always told people when they ordered that I was very far behind. It got to the point I just couldn't stand being 8 weeks and sometimes even more behind. I gave up a lot of fishing that I wanted to go do just to keep tying. It went on like that for years, way too many until I finally cut back the first of this year. Now I don't take on more than I can do and don't want to be busy all the time. Even with trying and turning down so e orders I still have been as busy as I wanted to be. Keeping people I formed is important and letting them know up front is huge!!!
in the end though the pressure and stress of being paid and not being able to send their order for a couple months is too much for me! I just couldn't take that after several years of trying!
