Tally Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 You are welcome Dave..... I was not down playing your thoughts on mass production, but making everyone aware that there is more to that bait than just mass producing it. So many baits out there that you better have one that everyone talks about and uses. The Chatterbait is a great example of what "could" happen...........but for most, it is just a dream about their bait. I don't know how much Ronnie is getting off of each bait sold if any. Zman may have the sole rights. That bait is making them a lot of money. The Jack Hammer sells for 15-20 bucks depending on where you shop. Most stores require a 45% profit. Not to bad for a bait that probably has a cost factor for under $1.00............ The best thing about that bait is everyone is throwing it and if your not, you should be. It flat catches fish and that is what it takes to make money off of the next "great" bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I would sooner do my own distribution. I have family in USA who would be glad of the extra income as a distribution center. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
