you have to show your face and make posts around here to get anything going.
We have some really respectable guys on here who get the business, no one knows you, so that might be part of the problem.
Not trying to make an insult, just trying to give you insight on "why"
Wreck 'em

Looked interesting to me. Tell you what you should do. Become a member of the crappie anglers of texas, do a small low cost sponsor ship, and really get the word out on your product. Im proud to be a sponsor of such a great organazation. You will not find more dedicated crappie anglers anywhere. And the boys in the group really do a lot of business with our fishing tackle builders.

Donate a hundred dollars worth of good to be given out as a prize at a tourney. You may get back a thousand in sales.

Not trying to tell you what to do, but maybe give a few to the JC Outdoors crappie tournament in May. That way they can give them away as door prizes and the winners can start using them and spread the word for you. Like Brian said, could end up making you thousands in sales.

For the JC Outdoors tournament, the person's name is Mark Howard. His screen name on here is JC Outdoors. He put a post on here a while back about the tournament, I will look for it and bring it back up TTT. When I do this, then you can post on it and you can contact him.

Are you guys afraid to try a new product? Oh yeah, that's good salesmanship. Calling us Chicken.  I saw your product at Arlington and while it is a good idea it looked like just another Gimmick to me. When I lose as many jigs from brush that's all I need is to add more cost to the setup. I would work better with braid as a main line an use a light line leader on down to the jig/minnow. Sorry to be negative, but you kinda started it that way.

I was not negative,just could not believe there were not fisherman on here that would not give a new product a try at a low price.These are not just a gimmick,the underwater video presented at Arlington was real an shows how fish are curious about light which is why this works,it brings the fish to your jig or minnow.It is clearly stated in the instructions that lighter line needed as a leader so light will not be lost.I do not know of any "gimmick"product out there that offers a lifetime warranty and stands behind it 100%.
