Kaimon,
First off let me thank you for calling my hands "professional tools". I hand poured these lures from a pyrex cup, into a silicone mold. Then airbrushed them by hand. Placed each eye by hand, then dipped them by hand once again.
Every piece of equipment in my shop is made either by stuff offered in stores (like the one hosting this contest), or built by myself. I started my company from a 4 cavity worm mold from Delmart.
Sadly egos and lack of humility are the reason I do not frequent forums anymore. I was so stoked and honored to hear the news. Only to get my accomplishment sullied, by someone that has done no research on the company they speak of. My passion is my shop. My company has grown over seven years, by lifting others up, not tearing them down. 16 hour days for 7 years got me the chance to quit my job of 16 years and stay at home to raise my boys during the day and hone my passion by night.
Lastly I have to thank you one more time. Over the seven years I have been doing this I have realized a few things. One being, If you got haters, then you are doing something right. This will be this evenings motivation to push and inspire myself and others...
