![]() Well, after reading posts about the Secret Weapon spinnerbaits, I have finally decided to give them a try. As if I needed more spinnerbaits, I ordered 3 today. Got a friend of mine to order some as well so we could order together. We each got 3 in different sizes and colors. Hoping they will get here before the 31st so I can try them out on a local tournament here! At least if they work, we wont be lying to the members of our bass club when we say we caught them on a 'secret weapon'. |

Outstanding. I appreciate the effort. The majority of the guys in my club
(I'm the newbie in the club) are spinnerbait guys. I never really used them as a go-to lure, but am fishing with people now who know how to use them so I am learning. I showed my boat partner the website and told him about what I read here and we decided to order. After the tournaments, or during the weigh in, we all compare what we were using so I am sure these will draw some interest there. "Charles Summers" wrote in message ... Thanks RR...

Thanks for the kudos, Rodney. And you've got a point there. If SW were TOO
well kept a secret, then our only customers would be a few tight-lipped tournament winners. On the other hand, lots of anglers think they've heard of our company already, some almost certain we've been around for years. They've seen guys stomp up to the weigh-in scales with bulging sacks o' bass, claiming with a sly grin that they caught 'em on their secret weapon. Thanks to a good brand name, we are the beneficiaries of fishermen's natural evasiveness and a catchy cliche. We started asking folks who paused to glance around SW's Nashville Fishing Expo booth if they needed more blades for their Secret Weapons. Not, "Have you ever heard of Secret Weapon?" Our question assumed they already knew about us. A good percentage of them felt pretty sure they had heard of the brand but just had not tried one yet. In fact, few of them had been exposed to us before. So we don't begrudge fishermen's reluctance to reveal their most productive lures. As long as they just continue to say they're using a secret weapon, we'll make out ok. So far, it seems that our customers have trouble keeping these lures a secret. Word of mouth has been, and will continue to be, our best marketing channel. Even tournament winners don't seem to mind saying they use Secret Weapons. They might even reveal the lure weight and model. As long as they don't mention the specific blade configuration they discovered to be most productive, those within earshot still have to figure out which of several hundred possible blade combinations might have been used. As much or even more than we, anglers are responsible for Secret Weapons' productivity, since the design permit anglers so much control over lure configuration, profile, and action. RR... I hope you and your buddy will get a lot of good use out of your lures. I calculate the 8 assorted baits you two selected should yield over a thousand good lure combinations. Our standard offer is, send us a photo with a braggin' size bass caught on your SW spinnerbaits, and if we tack it to the Board on our site, we'll let you pick out a lure and send it to you. Hope to see you there soon. Joe Haubenreich "Rodney" wrote in message ...
