Senkosam Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 How many of you use .062 flakes. They work great under dimming light (sunset) and in a fog (morning mist). Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I use .62 mixed with .15 in 90 % of the baits I make. It gives the bait more color depth. Hows the glitter enterprize coming along ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senkosam Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Tubeman, I'm ordering 10lbs of a few colors Mon. and will send out samples to everyone who've e-mailed their addresses for their input/evaluation. Mercury is getting 5 samples cut from the samples I received and will give me his results next week. The product has to meet the standards of experienced pourers, especially those that are in the business. If Merc likes the product, then I'm stocking up on 9 colors in .015, .040, and .062 initially. (Up front cost about $3k.) Later, I'll see about holographic flakes, string glitter and pearl (mica) powder. For new products and colors or combos, I'll send everyone on the mailing list a jerkworm containing the new color or additive or send it with their order. Also, I'll continue sending free samples for people to further evaluate so that you don't get stuck with crap colors that were misrepresented. I have 40 colors to chose from and 9 are only a beginning! The price per ounce will be determined by adding my shipping charges from the distributor, to the price/ounce wholesale. Once I get my first 20 lbs. and get an idea of shipping, I'll e-mail everyone on my mailing list. Right now I'm looking at a base price of $1.07 per oz., not including my costs (ie. bubble envelopes for larger quantities). The savings will be in your shipping charges, even for small orders. For example: LC charges $5 per $15 ordered. If someone only wanted to try 4 oz. of a color/size or special order, they would only pay S&H on the package weight, not $5 on top of $4.68; or a total of $9.68 for less than 4 oz. You will, in fact usually get 1/4 oz. more included per color/size. Shipping on 4 oz. plus envelop cost isn't much. There will always be a standard cost/per oz. only, no matter how much is ordered. This should benefit the newbie and producer alike. Again, a free sample sent to anyone that emails me their address. Please post your evaluations.
