Ben, yes it was me you bought Shimmy Shads from. You must have seen us in In-Fisherman magazine or the big river striper show featuring the shimmy shads.

Thanks for all the kind words from all you guys.

Anyway, you guys all seem like a good group so what the hell, I will send you each a free bait. That is, everyone who has posted prior to this post.

Just please email me the address where you would like to receive the lure at:

richardquade@hotmail.com

There are only two caveats. First, please give me honest feedback. We are still tweaking our paintjobs, and we will get them perfect with your help. Second, if you like the bait, tell your friends.

THIS BAIT WILL RETAIL FOR ONLY $16 - $20, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE RETAILER WANTS FOR MARGINS. It is at least as nice as $35-$40 versions out there. We will be at the Bass-A-Thon so look us up.

Please understand that I will be gone all week and will not get these out until next Friday at the absolute earliest. They will go USPS so you will get them the week after that.

Hope you like them (actually, I know you will!)

The tail (VersaTail), is really awesome, and we decided to break with tradition and not flagrantly violate patents. That is why our tail is not in violation of the Stanley Jigs WedgeTail patent that so many of the lures out your way seem to have. I am sure some of you are aware of the legal bloodbath taking place.

Tight Lines,
Rick

Put 'em back, let 'em grow.
