When can we start ordering?

[STRIPER LOU]

Thanks for all the comments, its really appreciated!
I will have a few to post up for sale this week. I had planned to have more but 2 local tackle shops that buy my bucktails ordered 100 Pcs. I'm flat out at the moment and trying to sneak an extra one in here and there to make them available at AT.

I'm also working on a list of people that goes back 6 to 8 months ago who were interested. If any of these folks have changed their mind those may become available. Colors will be limited because of availability. Still short of material!

As of now it looks like I will be posting some for sale as I can. Hopefully at some point that will improve. Future plans might include a website but more likely an ebay store. I think that's a long way off though!

The 1 1/2" dia x 1" wide Jigmaster sizes are what I am currently running at the moment. My lovely wife Gracie has volunteered (if I take her to dinner) to help with an installation post.

Thanks you all so very much for your interest and patience.
Regards,  ..  Lou

Thanks Lou!

Lou, here we come before anyone else .
You should put a page up with the style, color and price of your beautiful knobs.
I don't remember what we talked about, but if I didn't request a red "T" knob, please put me down for one...if available of coarse.

Thanks for taking this on buddy.

Sal, without a doubt there are a great bunch of people here on this site. This just worked out a bit different than I expected. At the show, most of the tackle shops that were interested in the knobs had been buying my bucktails and plugs for 15/20 years, so I do feel a sense of obligation to them also.

With that being said and Richard helping out I figured it would be no problem keeping everyone happy. Richard has been building plugs for the tuna guys, he was out the busniess but they have been pounding on him and I'm doing the best to meet all the orders that have come in on my own.
In addition, material is still tuff and costly and I don't stock much. With all the knobs I've sold so far I haven't even recovered the cost of the acrylic yet. I've considered hiring someone but finding the right person is difficult. If I had to sacrifice quality I'd rather not do them at all.

As it stands now I'm just starting to get my head above water and it will improve.
Thanks and have a great evening,  ..  Lou

Lou, I was just joking . I'm well aware you've been making plugs for your guys for some time now, that is why I placed a smyli.
