Howdy All,
I actually started selling on ebay a few years ago, and there are just WAY too many fees to come out on these plastics (at these prices). As far as Jim (niffken), he originally bought from me, and then I told him that he should just buy them direct, as he wanted stuff that I either didn't want, or he didn't want to carry items that i considered standard.
I get my plastics from GA and AL. Some are made by the same manufacturer as Yum, Culprit, Pradco, Lake Fork Tackle, Mad Man (formerly), Gene Larew, etc. Other company makes all BPS brand baits, as well as some i didn't list.
I started selling these baits because i used them, and knew they were good. Figured if i threw in some 'extras' with every order, and ship within a day or two, everything would work out. So far so good. 2 million worms and counting! We know that there are at least a dozen companies selling these baits (most have the same exact colors) but we try to stay ahead of the curve, and offer new, original items whenever we can. (like the smoke red; one of my fav's and i had to have it.)
