bribass Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Please excuse me if I its has already been mentioned but is Mike still making baits? I can't find his website anymore and his account says he hasn't been active on here for a long time Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 No he is not. He said he was going back to work at a school again last I talked to him. Which was awhile ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane D Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Frank, why did he get out of plastics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Not real sure. I talked to him about getting his machines but never really got back to him. It's a lot of work making baits for a living and when you have over head like the macihines it makes it harder. You have to compete with the big guys and they sell them cheap but you have to buy a lot. Hard to get new customers to buy a production mold and buy the minimums you need to make money. A regular job must have looked real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane D Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well I hate to hear that. I know its not easy for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 It must have been a real tough decision to step back. Mike put so much effort into this venture, and I am sure that in a better fiscal climate, the business would have been a huge success.
