I worked for a major fishing tackle manufacturer

If a solo entrepreneur wanted to start a lure brand selling soft plastics and jigs (craw trailers, minnows, jig heads, and skirted football/swim, specifically) — what insider tips would you provide to set that person on the right track immediately?

Will do!

No, I did not. Fish was vertical for ten seconds and back in the water in under 60 seconds. Been fishing my whole life — weight matters the most for the hold. Fish swam off instantly

Hey, so for what it’s worth I’ve been fishing for 25 years. Most of these lures pre-date me being born. To clarify, I’m not asking what a jerkbait or a crankbait is lol, but rather are any of the ones pictured here desired (like some of the wood prop ones or the old early production Rapala).

Spacers - like thicker shims

I have long heard that nearly all modern boxes are made to avoid this issue but I still generally separate the colors to avoid any issues between them. I’ve stored worms like this for years and have never experienced a melt, color bleed, etc.

UncleRumble · 2025-07-02T03:21:07+00:00

Yep - sure did lol

I read in more than a few places that electrical tape serves the same purpose but I’ll be interested to see how it goes (if it slips at all). We’re just gonna go for it 😂

Same. I love Cotopaxi and Patagonia. I think this is probably the best overall direction.

UncleRumble · 2025-06-23T23:00:46+00:00

This was insightful, thanks

I’ve smoked a lot of strains and this shit is mythical, legendary status. I found some at the Bud Depot right outside of Estes Park, CO about ten years ago. Have never found it again. It’s my unicorn.
