Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted January 4, 2014 Super User Posted January 4, 2014 Meh.. Looking at what is available now, and the prices... 9$ for 2 jigs? Nah, I'm good. http://profoundoutdoors.com/index.aspx I splurged for one of those $9 tungsten Jackall jigs think I might be afraid to use it though. Quote
AMAC Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Prices aren't that great, but I like the option of a 25 pack of jigs. Quote
Megastink Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Meh.. Looking at what is available now, and the prices... 9$ for 2 jigs? Nah, I'm good. http://profoundoutdoors.com/index.aspx I dont think that they want you to buy at list price. Part of their business plan is that you can "join their team" and get "team pricing" on all products. In other words you can get factory direct pricing, what exactly I don't know. However, it would seem like their is a catch: $10 monthly fee, $25 annual fee and your SSN...... Considering that their website just opened and they probably haven't shipped their first order yet, but they're stating that their "world class products" are "taking the fishing world by storm", it sounds like a bunch of bull. I'll pass. But good luck. Quote
camovan Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah, give it one year maybe. Depends on how deep their pockets are to support an outdated and shady business model, but my guess is since their "launch" is sporting such a nice selection of only jigs they are not too deep. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 Prices aren't that great, but I like the option of a 25 pack of jigs. Place an order with a site sponsor. I order 50 at a time and can always get the order filled. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 Having a pros name attatched to a product isnt really a driving force behind my purchases could actually be a hindrance. Dont have a clue who Timmy Horton is. He the guy that NEVER stops smiling. It's almost annoying. Quote
J.Bass Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Meh.. Looking at what is available now, and the prices... 9$ for 2 jigs? Nah, I'm good. http://profoundoutdoors.com/index.aspx I wonder how the spinnerbaits hold? I also wonder how much? Hearing 2 jigs for $9 sounds crazy. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 There already is a pro with a pink boat I know ... But with Mary Kay cosmetics once you earn enough revenue selling their product you earn your Pink Caddy. I was just joking about the same with this company. We can all have a pink boat if we sell enough product. LOL Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 I wonder how the spinnerbaits hold? I also wonder how much? Hearing 2 jigs for $9 sounds crazy. Wow ... just went on the site and I am in awe of the prices. The markup you would need to make to sell these yourself makes them more expensive than the retail IMO. No thank you! I will skip this too. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I guess I am a little optimistic, unfortunately all they sell right now is jigs and jig heads, I make my own jigs but maybe I will give them a try. 9 bucks for two jigs is not too crazy mop jigs were pretty close to that. I am looking forward to seeing what this company will come up with. Mitch Quote

If I buy the 25 pack from this site, I'm paying 3.32 each. On a single jig, which would I pay 50% more to buy from here? Their "team pricing" better be good. I can get Mop jigs from Siebert for $3.70 each too. $3.95 with the best hooks. 1 Quote
HomersTomaco Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Looks like a really dumb idea. The stuff is expensive, the business model is terrible and it's just going to tick off all their sponsors Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 15, 2014 Super User Posted January 15, 2014 IDK..... But it seems really goofy to me , there are lots and lots of awesome jig makers....and maybe Iam wrong but the term flop comes to mind...currently I am out and sorta dismayed by this presentation Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted January 15, 2014 Super User Posted January 15, 2014 This will be geared more too selling stuff to novice anglers/newbies.celebrity anglers =big sellers. Like taylor swift is to (fake) country music.i dont buy anything with a persons pic on it ,90% do and 10% throw out % like i just did lol Quote
prjavelin Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 from timmy horton? i dont think I want anything designed by him... Quote

I don't follow the sponsors the pros have. When I make a lure purchase, it's off the recommendation of a friend, recommendation from a fishing forum, or new technology from an old manufacturer. I know the winning lure from the "Classic" tends to sell out shortly afterwards, but doesn't seem to keep the same status no matter who throws it. Personally I think it's just a handful of guys trying to make a buck. They're not designers, they're not engineers, they're fishermen. What they are doing now is no different than what they do for their current sponsors except eliminating the middleman Quote
