agree that just a little communication would go a long way! a quick reply to say "i've received your message and am a little behind, but i'll get right back to you" would do a lot to let folks know they're at least being attended to!

i placed an order 2 weeks ago and immediately got a shipping notice, but it hasn't left since. i've contacted him twice on FaceBook messenger and not a word back.

i got all 6mm, but an assortment of greens, silvers, golds. The ones i got previously were actually from amazon, but just cheap quality and cheap looks. the ones i got from lisa and ed look legit!

ordered some eyes from lisa and ed last week and received them last night. very quick to respond, cheap shipping and they look 10,000 times better than the last eyes i bought from ebay.

that looks awesome!

Ordered some eyes weeks ago myself. Received the email below, also received the same message on my ebay account. i've since asked for a refund to no avail. just today i submitted another request for refund, i'll see how that goes. Thank You for placing an order with bustinbassbaits. My name is Keith, I am the brother of the owner/operator of bustinbassbaits. My brother (Bryan) has been physically unable to run the company since Thursday Feb. 16th. He will not be able to operate the company any longer, but I am working toward taking over the business for him. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated during this transitional period. Bryan is O.K. but his current condition has really taken a toll on our family. As I write this I don”t have access to his email account, his website, his Ebay store, or his shop where bustinbassbaits works out of. I got your information through his PayPal account, which I do have access to. Again, I am working toward taking over the company as best I can but it is a process that will take some time. I’m hoping everything regarding the company can be sorted out in the next couple of weeks and I can begin filling orders for shipping. I’m sure you will have no problems getting a refund for your purchase if that’s what you would like. Please don’t hold this delay in processing your order against the company. Customer service is our highest priority. Thanks again for your patience and understanding. Sincerely, Keith

thanks guys!

yeah i believe that may be just the spro knockoffs, i think the 1.5 and 2.5 may be another vendor, but not 100% sure.

an even better method than the o ring for me is using heat shrink tubing. 3/8" for your typical senko baits and 1/4" works well for a trick worm/flick shake type bait.

been lurking for some time now.... got into wire tying jigs and now trying to soak up a bunch of info on getting into painting some crankbaits! great info available here!

hey guys, lurked a while and got into tying jigs.... now looking to paint some baits. got a lot of the material gathered up and looking at some blanks right now. I've seen a few of the ones i'd like to try on ali express for some pretty cheap prices in comparison. i know you often get what you pay for and so on, but just wondering if anyone had any experience with these blanks? especially looking at the 1.5, 2.5 and spro md knockoff types.
