I Made In-Fisherman Magazine!

Recommended Posts

"That's awesome! Get ready for emails with lots of orders!"

 

"Never to fish again as orders will be flooding you now. So sit back and watch the $$ roll in and fishing time stand still."

 

I made the FLW outdoors magazine in Feb. of 2007. I was put in there again with several other guys off of this site in May of 2007. Everyone told me the same thing. All I got was a bunch of inquiries from folks wanting me to make their ideas into a reality and to paint baits for them. One guy offered me a whopping $35.00 to turn his ideas into a prototype lure.  Another guy had over 30 Poes 400s he wanted painted. When I gave him a price of $10 per bait he had a fit. If Hughes, Sellers, or Prior was doing the painting it would be $15 - $20 bucks apiece to have them done. But this clown thought $2.50 to $3.00 a bait was fair because he was doing the stripping. I don't believe that many of the other guys made much money as a result of the article either. Few people are willing to pay a fair price for custom work.

 

I congratulate you on making the magazine. It is not an easy thing to do. You do beautiful work. I hope it all turns out well for you.
