Jig Man Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) A friend of mine has been displaying some of my baits at trade shows along with his other products. Now he plans to open a web store. He wants to put my baits on the site. My question is: Should I make only baits as they are ordered or should I make up a bunch for stock. I'm not sure what to do as there are many colors and sizes of 4 different styles of jigs, tubes, craws, plastic sticks, and some crappie baits. He's carrying about 1300 assorted baits with him at the trade shows and most are less than 12 or each color/variety size.

Nathan Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 With such a wide varity of colors , sizes & products I'd give it a while and see what your sellers are.Then in the future you can keep a stock of your best sellers on hand...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Yep that has been my thinking lately also. I just don't want making baits for him to get in the way of my March-October fishing. I don't go often in this kind of weather, but when those big whites get on the A-rig in upper Bull Shoals and the prespawn lmb move in at Stockton, I don't want to be making baits.

basskat Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 You can end up with a pile of money in inventory if not careful. Some will sell no doubt but a lot will sit for quiet some time before selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
