;D

That same factory in China that made those "Akita" baits makes baits for a lot of other companies. They make those same baits and sell them to other companies to put their own name on. A few co's actualy design thier own and then have that factory build them for them but most just buy thier stock products and resell them. I had them manufacture some baits for me so I know first hand about their quality controll issues. The lures look nice but they are poorly made and will have lots of problems once they are put in water. The ones that I had made I had to completly reseal with epoxy. It was very time consuming so I no longer have them make any lures for me. It was a learning experience.

Darn,to good to be true as they say huh.Matt to get into lure building what tools are needed or what do you use mostly? i have bandsaws,scrollsaws,sanders,drillpress anything im lacking to TRY and get into doing this stuff?

i'm a little confused since the ebay link in the original post has expired or something like that...what was the point of the thread?

and what was the point of all those tackleunderground gallery links?

Drama over...Dude is toast.
