A prime example, in my humble opinion, is Bill Lewis lures. The
Rat-L-Trap's hooks are arguably the worst pieces of crap that are attached
to any lure, but we continue to make this one of the best-selling lures
year after year. When we accept that fact that we throw away components
from a brand-new product right out of the box and rarely complain or
boycott, what incentive does the company have to make changes?



You are so right on those hooks on the rattle-trap. I boxed all mine up
over a period of a few years and sent the hooks back to them...All brand
new! They probably reused them on new product again....

I'm sure that complaining would do good considering Fishing is a
mutli-million dollar industry and as with anything else made in the U.S.,
there are corners cut to reduce production cost thus increasing profits. The
"bottom line" is all that matters. With competition like it is in the lure
market, lure makers, (other than Pradco), are all more than happy to help
with any problems encountered with anything they sell.

I do think the company handles problems on an "individual" basis though.

I have dealt with Mann's here locally in Alabama as well as Berkley. Most
are professional and accommodating but they all cant be perfect all the time
and some don't even try to be..(Like Pradco).

Its all about business and selling products and most companies with ANY
sense, (other than Pradco), appreciate customer loyalty and compliments...

End of rant here......(Did I mention i dont like Pradco?)
