Product Loyalty Opportunity

Published on 07-24-2012 05:53 PM

Every crappie fisherman has a favorite crappie jig/lure. Product loyalty is the backbone that keeps new products on the tackle store racks. Without crappie fishermen, crappie jigs/lures would not have a market. I cannot imagine being a crappie fisherman and not having a selection to chose from when I go shopping for crappie jigs/lures. Recently I saw an opportunity to participate in the Bobby Garland/Gene Larew "Color My Baby Shad Contest" and my first thought was, I should participate and submitt an entry.

My first instinct was a name, and without hesitation "Watermelon Wine" popped into my head and I could not sleep until I got on my computer and generated an entry into this contest. I had no problem coloring my idea because watermelon comes in only a couple of variations. The yellow meat melon did not surpass the idea of the favored red meat with the green rind. The black seed completed the idea and I submitted my idea and to my unabashed happiness, my entry was selected as one of the several winners.

If anyone wants to say I'm pushing a product for profit, it is true. The winners selected will win 1000 of the first run of each entry. My entry won me 1000 Bobby Garland "Watermelon Wine" jigs and I am so happy I want to share. Details will be announced by Ed Moes aka slab and the picture attached is my entry. Why you may ask, "because I have no reason to let so many jigs sit, and not be out there catching crappie".

To me, crappie.com simply rocks!

Thank You Slab, you made it possible and I appreciate your efforts more than I can express. I told the folks in Oklahoma today
that Crappie.com was the inspiration and door to this opportunity and I thank you for having Bobby Garland/Gene Larew Lures as
a Sponsor. Really looking forward to dipping these jigs in some brush.

Thanks Slab, and thanks for providing the opportunity to participate. Crappie.com has provided more info and communications between
folks than any website I've ever visited. Sharing my bounty with members is a priviledge and I don't know how I'm going to manage my
patience waiting for the jigs to arrive. You have some great Sponsors and they are most generous to you and the membership. Keep the
raffles going.
Thumbs Up

Man that is a good looking color and a very cool name. You should have won with color and name. I am looking forward to using that jig when it becomes available. I use Bobby G jigs almost exclusively here on Guntersville Lake and they catch fish. I have several favorite colors and I hope this one becomes another one on my list.
