Richoc Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Has any one else been contacted buy this guy. Hi, I am a fanatic pike hunter from Germany! I heard that there are a lot of good lures (crankbaits, jerkbaits, ...) available in the united States of America. I have also seen many homepages of american lure manufacturers and I have to say that I am very fascinated about all these wonderful lures which really produce fish! The big problem is that all these lures are not offered in Germany. But I would really like to try out some of them for pike. I am only a poor university student, so I am not able to order some lures from the USA. International orders require a credit card, but I have none. And I could not afford tax, customs and shipping costs as well. Do you have any lures you would give away? Best regards, Marc Mueller I am going to dig a little deeper in to this. At first I feel I should send some samples.............but. I will have to feel this out a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 shipping isnt that high and no customs if you just write it as gifts on the paper they hand you. Tell him send a money order. just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullin8s Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Well on a purely business side i would say if he cant afford lures or shipping even, then he doesnt warrant samples. Occasionally i give things to kids, but not always and even then it seems if you give one something you get asked by everyone he/she knows as well. Not that i wouldnt like to give lures to every kid that asks, its just that at this stage in the game i can't afford to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 did the email come on behalf of TU? eg; Board"AT"tackleunderground.com? If so, I can contact the users ISP & complain, if not, theres nothing much TU can do. I really suggest users to not list thier email address in thier signature or anywhere else in thier posts, its candy for spammers & solicitors.

Richoc Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Red.... it did not come through here. Cory, he found me through Muskiefirst. So that is where a large pike hunter found us through. He responds to the ? I have e-mailed back to him. Just perplexing what to think.
