I want to make the members here aware of a situation.... I wasn't going to mention anything about what I found or about a conversation I had as well as something I was already aware of....but I think it warrants mentioning.
I was going through our display cargo bag yesterday for the first time after the RISAA show in preparation for the season. Upon opening it, I realized that I had three plugs missing...
They were a BM 3 0z. darter in a special color, a discontinued Big "O" in trout pattern (very difficult to find even when in production) and a custom, limited run, slim pencil popper with extra weight to it. Someone cherry picked these.....Now, it's not so much which plugs they were, but that someone or some people actually
stooped to that level to steal out of someones bag at a show that was a display!
It was also mentioned to me in that conversation I mentioned above (by another manufacturer of soft baits) that they too "had a bunch of stuff lifted"...
This is all on top of Nils getting his medium skinz bag filled with plugs stolen out of his display kayak on Saturday. He was crushed that someone would actually do this... What a sad state of affairs!
I say this, the persons who did these things are a low bunch that will get nothing but bad karma from their action. They should also know that as vendors, we go to great lengths & expense to show the patrons attending the show our products, share our knowledge and simply spend time with them. When this sort of unsavory situation becomes rampant, no one will want to attend the show as a vendor and many will suffer for the moral shortcomings of the few.
People should be aware of this and should stop it if they see it - this is simply the right thing to do.
Thanks for your time, tight lines and have a great season this year!
