Brand0n Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 got a feeling the deals are gunna get pulled after being posted on a site like this. i bet they are realizing they are getting a bit more traffic right now. i tried anyways, but i'm not expecting to get much, if anything, or in short order. worth a shot though! then they realize sells might go up after people find out they like the hooks and want more Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 then they realize sells might go up after people find out they like the hooks and want more I think its a good marketing strategy.....If I get some and like them, I'll be buying some for sure. Though, it will be hard to pull me away from owner hooks.. Quote
SAC2 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 then they realize sells might go up after people find out they like the hooks and want more true, but how many people (me) just did it for free hooks. of the around 600 people the have viewed this thread, im sure about 80 percent of them signed up for at least one, and probably both things. assuming that they are giving away just 3 packs to about 400 people, 6 bucks for 3 hooks, thats 2400 dollars. now if everyone signed up for both, they could be getting potentially 6 hooks and various other products probably costing the company around 6 grand, just from traffic from this website alone. its a decent marketing stategy yes. but i was saying they realized "oh crap" when they noticed how many people were signing up and how much money they lost so quickly. the odds of people buying more trokars is the risk they take when they give the stuff away. youre right with your assumption, but personally, at 8-9 bucks for a 4 pack of hooks, they can keep em.

Gangley Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Prices on them have dropped to around 6.99 down here. I'm assuming that is nationwide but I could be mistaken. Quote
JoePhish Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Prices on them have dropped to around 6.99 down here. I'm assuming that is nationwide but I could be mistaken. The Gander Mountain by me was running a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal. Needless to say, I stocked up. I'm glad there's a bit of a price break on these because since I tied one on I have no desire to go back to my usual Gammys. Quote
Brand0n Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 yeah there $6.99 at my local walmart all day long Quote
SAC2 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 yeah there $6.99 at my local walmart all day long even at 7 dollars for 4 hooks, i cant justify it. the way fuel costs are and the distance from my local walmart (that doesnt have them anyways, you guys have nice walmarts i guess!) id be lookin at about 10 bucks a pack. or i could get a 20 pack of lazer sharps for about the same price. i end up losing them before they get too dull or rusted to use anyways.

scrutch Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 The only thing keeping me from using Trokar hooks is the price. I believe in the whole cutting is better than conical point thing, but not at those prices. Maybe if my livelihood depended on it. But it doesn't so, naah. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted March 28, 2012 Super User Posted March 28, 2012 Anyone get their hooks yet? Quote

Can't wait. Quote
Polarkraft05 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I signed up around march 12th and still haven't gotten anything in the mail. I bet they are getting a lot more requests than they bargained for. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 28, 2012 Super User Posted March 28, 2012 Anyone get their hooks yet? Not yet! Quote

baluga Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Anyone get their hooks yet? Got mine last week. A pack of 5/0 Finnesse worm hook and a Trokar string draw bag plus decals! Quote
alyswim Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Just took the quiz... fingers crossed I get something useful! Quote
Dave P Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Anyone get their hooks yet? Nope. But, I signed up March 13th. Quote
outdoorsman110 Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I did both the survey and quiz, my girlfriend let me use her information and I did the quiz and survey again. Hopefully I got 4 packs of hooks coming 1 Quote
WCCT Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I've been waiting for over a month also. Hopefully one of these days I will get some hooks! Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I received the bag, one decal, and a pack of 7/0 Flipping Hook. This freaking thing is huge! I will give them a good try. I purchased the TroKar Drop Shop hooks before and after about 5 or 6 smallmouth, the tip was either bent or dull, because I couldn't puncture a paper bag with it. Same thing happened to the next TroKar drop shot hook. I didn't like that fact that I spent so much money per hook to only last me 4 or 5 fish. I am hoping this 7/0 monster will stay sharp a lot longer. Quote
Zoff Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 I got mine today... Decal and a pack of 2/0 worming hooks. Give 'em a try tomorrow. Quote
