Bryon,

I respect your decision. Your lures are wonderful and we fishermen/women need them.....but your family needs you more. You are a good man.

Good choice. Family has to be first!
I do hope you get to make & sell some of the 180's.
Everyone that has tried them seems to love the action.

Good luck Bryon. You provided an excellent product and service but family does come first.

Hey guys, thanks for all the nice comments,emails and phone calls. I have looked at this thing from many different angles for awhile now, hiring help etc. But to be honest I am to picky on my slabs. I dont think I could keep the help around,lol. I have tried that to a point with family, they said I was to picky. Only reason, I try to make mine be the best. I really think from the response I have had that the email way of handling my slab selling will work great. Hopefully I will be all caught up here pretty soon. Rest through the holidays, maybe give it a test run some time thereafter. Best part is I have had quite a few guys offer to take me fishing over the past couple years, now maybe I can fit the time in to collect on some of these trips. Lot of good folks on here, thanks again.

Hey Dennis, you are probably the first guy I ever emailed,etc from this website. I remember after we emailed a couple times we did a bait swap. Several emails in between. A lot of times when people sell things, especially the same things there can be conflicts. I have had the opportunity to email and visit with a few(Leroy-Hummdingers,Bobby Burgess, Ron Ludwig-taught me a lot on making baits) and have enjoyed visiting with you all. Your right when you get to making baits, I dont think you can ever quit though. Take care all.

Right Bryon, it is in your blood and only you can understand
the pride you put into each one. But it does get easier when
you have a little less pressure, take my word for it. I would
compare it to anything pro such as sports Including fishing.
If I had to do it everyday for a living, it might not be as
enjoyable. Now you can get back to some of those fishing reports
once in a while. I enjoy em.
