Hey folks, Just saw an awesome video about Japanese lure building and I really wanna share with you guys. And here we go, Enjoy! Those Japanese are crazy!!!

The main reason that I brought the subject up is because I noticed that the gentleman's location was Texas(a very big fishing state and a very competitive market). When you start manufactoring in a state such as texas you better have all of your points covered, after all, this is the fishing industry( a very competitive and cutthroat industry). If someone feels like their toes are being stepped on, then rest asure if they can turn you in they will. Saltfisher, if you are making the baits and selling them and not filing federal excise taxes, then you are playing with fire and the IRS is made of gasoline. I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but I got turned in when I first started and I know several people that decided that they would keep a low profile and it shut their businesses down. I just dont want to see anyone in trouble. These folks do not play, they mean it. Be it 1 dollar or 10,000 dollars.

They'll cry real tears when the I.R.S. levies penalty and interest. All the I.R.S.has to do is check the business links of signatures here on T.U. and then punch up the business name and see if any form #720's have been filed.You'd be surprised how many will "drop dime" on their buddies when they get caught.This business has enough caveats w/o the I.R.S. making your financial life miserable.

Peque, I've read over this thread and I think its great that you guys are getting started, but I have also noticed that no one has mentioned an important subject. Before you sell any baits contact your nearest IRS agency. As a manufactorer of fishing products you are responsible for filing and paying quarterly federal excise taxes, you have to pay 10% on all your sales if you manufactor the product. These folks are more than happy to tell you how to get started. I know a couple of people that started manufactoring and selling fishing products that did not do this and it turned out to be a very costly mistake, so be sure and keep this in mind when you start your actual sales. Good luck to you both, Mike

It seems to me that the flatter the paint the more shine I get with the clear coat. Musky Glenn

A master builder, wish I could buy one of those. His hands will be a permanently curled position after 30 years of that! Jed
