    Default guess I should be flattered .lol

    Its a real struggle to start a bait company and get your name out there when the big dogs are established with the money to back them. So often the names we grew up using end up being bought and sold like stocks and the products we used for years is just not the same anymore.
    We have had many top finishes in tournaments but due to the fact we dont sponsor those tournaments when the results are posted along with what they used if the winners didnt use a southern pro jig or a Big Bite baits product. (hal fly) then they wont say what they used. I dont get it, well I guess I do but it really hurts the small guess coming up. The same big companies that try and hold back us small time companies end up trying to buy us out eventually. lol ( not going to happen here, we a have made a lifetime commitment to crappie fishing )
    I recently placed a free add on the cusa site, I have been doing it for years. renew it every 30 days. well lately my adds are gone pretty quick. LOL so I guess some of these Big companies maybe feeling the pintch:D. So I guess now I will keep posting my add and checking back everyday.lol
    Its not the only time its happened. We were set up to be in crappie world rag, But because we again were not advertisers in the magazine so they canceled on us. lol
    And so it goes I guess. I just prefer to get my customers by recommendations and not by a fancy ad. Its a slower way to success but my thought is that Micro Spoons & Jigs will be better off in the long run. I HOPE:D

    Well Keith, Ga. Slab Masters is certainly proud to have you guys as sponsors of our trail and the participants are too! Quality and service at a decent price is what Micro Spoons and Jigs are all about and I encourage everyone to try the Old Reliable Brand as they are one dang good jig for sure, if you don't believe it just ask some our tournament winners.
