Just ordered 2 spools of hi-vis yellow. Will post back my thoughts once I give it a try. Hope you are right on this Stucky. 
Keep on fishing.

Hey Mr. Texboxer would love to make a trip over to Waco. One thing needs warm up just a little. But would love to come by and sink a jig or two. Thank you for the comments

So I was looking forward to getting their line to try since everyone on here seems to like it, as well as some of their jigs that were out of stock last time. I heard the guy was supposed to restock Anglers Pro monday. Tuesday afternoon we made the hour drive out there and of course the jigs and line I wanted were both out of stock. Talked to the guy at the front said the guy never showed. Oh well stuff happens. I ended up getting some terrible color so I could still try the line anyway and see if I wanted to come back for the correct color. Spooled it up and dropped down and caught 4 fish in like 20 minutes. The memory and feel is exactly the same as the bps tightline that is 1/3 the price. Anyone who tells you different is lying. I was extremely disappointed based on my expectations from what people were saying about it. As for the jigs: they are like snowflakes. No two are the same. I got a few colors but as an example the black and green one had some that were completely black with barely a hint of green and others the exact opposite with the majority green with a little black. The inconsistency of the coloring is seriously the worst of any jigs I've ever seen including others' homemade ones. I love supporting local merchants, but come on man.
My advice: if your going to make the drive for bonehead at anglers pro, call ahead and make sure they have what you want, or go through them directly. Hey DalMichealLas. Thought I would drop a line and tell you that I appreciate your candor, despite that your experiences are completely contrary to mine. I have always believed that individuals should have the right to speak their mind. Frankly, when I have to dress someone down (complain) for whatever reason, I do so via a PM. Also, I keep the complaint based on the facts and circumstances. Shortcomings can be addressed as suggestions for improvement. Further, I always do my best never to call anyone a liar, even if I feel that way. To do so simply draws a line in the sand and alienates other folks. While it seems you kept your comments based on relevant facts and circumstances, you could have sent Josh a PM and got your issue resolved quietly. By putting your comment on an open forum and calling anyone that did not agree with your assessment a liar was a little over the top. Essentially, instead of making a valid contrary point all you accomplished was force folks into taking a side over Josh's products. Plus, you came across as a whine/complainer to folks that disagree with your position. FYI, I wanted to send this to you via a PM; however, given the circumstances of your actions, i felt the open forum was necessary. I have in the past, had issues crop up with Josh's products. Then I would send him a PM and he made it right, changed the product, whatever was necessary, with an apology and a good attitude. The one thing you will learn about him, is he will go the extra mile to make sure he gets it right and he is sincere in his efforts. Incidentally, I have tried the line from BPS and Josh's and will be the first to tell you, that in my experience you are dead wrong. Maybe when you gain more experience, you will begin to understand and appreciate the differences in products and you will do so BEFORE you call other folks a liar.

Hey guys thanks for standing up for me. Things do happen family comes first. Also if you would have have me a call personally when you did not see the line you wanted. I would have probably put in the mail free of charge or brought you one. I'm always hand delivering Items when some body needing something. Now on the baits yes some plastics have just little different color. But that's all changing the plastics are now made in USA with lead heads. That way can have better quality control. So thanks for trying my products. Since you are not satisfied with them let me know I will send you your money back. Thanks Josh So your not a manufacture ? just a importer ?

I have been designing baits for about 5 years now. Started off in my garage then moved to a barn. We have grown so fast is the past 7 months it was hard to keep up. So a friend of mine hooked me into his manufacturing company overseas. I have now been working on getting all the right equipment lined out to be full blown manufacture here. Our company has already started the casting products such as jig heads slaps and spoons. We have all the new injection molds for plastics almost complete as well. We have also agreed to help some small plastic companies inject their baits as well. We are just wanting to have better quality control and also be able run special runs for customers. Not only that but will help create more jobs here in tyler.

Maybe when you gain more experience, you will begin to understand and appreciate the differences in products and you will do so BEFORE you call other folks a liar. I can appreciate what you're saying. I have to disagree with you on PMing problems however. If everyone did that, the actual forum would be flooded with only good reviews giving a false representation of a product. If I'm looking to try a new product, I want to know the good and bad of the product, not just the good. That's what marketting is for, not customer reviews. Im glad you didnt pm me, as id much rather have an educated contribution to my post regardless if we disagree. I may have been excessive with the liar comment and I apologize for that, but when a person says something has 0 memory, and it ends up having memory (regardless of weather) that's innaccurate. So far I've been called irresponsible and innexperienced, what's next? For all those offended with my review, I apologize and will just keep my mouth shut in the future as I dont like being personally attacked because people disagree with me about a product. As for the consistency of bait colors, I believe even Josh (hope you don't mind me using your first name) hinted that this was an issue. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks everyone for your input.
I hate fishing and texas, but love tff.

I think we are better off just stop here. We all have our points and stands, this is like politics no one ever going to be perfect. We should just forget about it and move on.

Thanks so much, but you definitely don't need to do that. I'd rather buy one and support your business. The offer alone wants me to keep buying your products and can't tell you how much I appreciate the gesture. You're company will thrive with that sort of attitude. Do you have any stickers or decals I can put on my car? Thanks again!!
