Lightbulb Black & Purple Bomber 17A

Boys & Girls,

I am working with a tackle shop to place a custom order with Pradco to get this color made. If there are enough people interested and will buy them the shop will order them. A custom color order is 600 pieces.

These are the 1 1/2oz Bomber with two hooks. You know, the ones you always use....

So let's here it. Who is interested and how many would you take (be honest)?

Me, I'll take 50 to start.

I have a pretty good supply of the 16A "burple" but I guess I'd be interested in a half-dozen or so 17As.

Talking

Put me in for 10.

Mike - any way it would be easier/cheaper if we ordered them without hooks and split rings?

At the moment I do not know the cost per plug or if "without hooks" is an option.

I will have more information in a day or so.

But keep the info coming....

TATTOO,

1) Put me down for a dozen.

2) Please make sure you let me know when you are releasing the next batch of your own stuff.

3) finally, once you get a price on the bombers let me know. I do the ordering the MSBA raffle tables and might want some for the club also, but I need the price first

Maybe I wrote the thread wrong, maybe you read it wrong....

Here is the deal,

ALOT of people want the 17A in black and purple.
The minimum order is 600 pieces.
I can't buy them because I am not a tackle shop.
I asked my local shop if they would do it, they said yes but want to see some interest before laying out the cash....Thats a lot of lures to eat for breakfast if they don't sell.

I am not making any money on these.

I just want my black and purple 17A just like the next guy.

In addition, it's one more thing that the shop will have that no one else does. Good for business.

Black and purple is also known as black and violet for those who are anal retentive in regards to color.


P.S. They got ordered today. Should be delivered in 4 - 5 weeks.

Once they come in, I'll let the world know where to get them....after I get my stash of course.

Bombers

Hay guys!
Well Im new to this board and I would like to first thank Tattoo for turnning me on to it. Its GREAT! Looks like a great group of hardcore fisherman just willing to share info about everything from line to turning plugs without all the whining. Also I would like to add that I help run the store in Newport RI that will have these plugs. Like tattoo said, I thought it would be great to bring a plug back to guys like yourselves that hasn't been available since 1985. I have placed the order and they are about 4-6 weeks out. There will be plenty to go around and I've also seen a few post of guys wanting 50 plus plugs and some wanting 6 plugs. It a lot of plugs for a store to take all at once If your a small store in Newport RI. If I know guys want it I'll get them and Its done. Here's the deal! Any orders for 24 or more get 10% off. Seeing that the stuff is bought from guys all over the place you can save on our special order shipping as well. Anything over $50.00 will ship free and out of state purchase pay no tax. The plugs will be $8.99. I would also like to mention that thru the last year or so I have seen an amazing demand in quality surf tackle right here in Newport. We have a few great bait shops in the area but no one is selling great surf tackle like say Cove Edge from that past from Watch Hill. We at the Saltwater Edge will be expanding our entire store to allow for some of the things that surf anglers on the island or anywhere in the area have to drive 45min away to get. We will have Super Strike,HABS,Charlie Graves Tins,NJ Tackle Eel Skin Heads and tins,some of Tattoos stuff,Gibbs,Lamiglas,and much more. Well guys the order is in and we would love to have you stop by the store sometime. We are not only a full service saltwater fly shop but we do sell surf fishing tackle as well. Thanks for the inquries and the goods are inbound. If you don't hear from me tattoo will let you guys know when there available and you'll be able to get them thru the website or call 1-866-SWE-Orders or 1-401-842-0062 or swing by the store.
Thanks Corey

Corey - welcome to Striped-Bass

I'm John, I'm addicted to fishing, and I started this site just about 4 years ago.

I've heard both some good words about your shop and that you are expanding your surfcasting gear. I'll be in to talk to you over the next couple weeks.


Thanks,

John
