You think maybe since trapping is slow now people have more time to experiment with new related things like making lures and baits?
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

scarcity mentality. not a bad thing most times but with some things it makes people do weird things see covid toilet paper run and bread and milk when the word snow is mentioned. No one knew it was out of stock. I didn't put that in my catalog. You think maybe since trapping is slow now people have more time to experiment with new related things like making lures and baits? This book isn't about how to make lure, just how to test it. It's not only this book. I've noticed when I'm unexpectedly out of a particular lure, I'll begin getting more orders for it than normal. No one would know I was out of, because it was a surprise to me too. I'll think that I have another bucket of it to bottle only to find out it is also an empty bucket. Most of my lures aren't the cake mix type where you mix the ingredients and the lure is ready to bottle. They tend to take months to develop. I probably need to get a better handle on inventory so I'm better prepared.

Its called Murpys law. When I had my bar in the Canary islands, I could sit there for an hour without anyone coming in. Then 8 or more folks would walk in the door that did not even know each other and all of them wanted the same thing and I would have to spring into action to get it all done. I tell my boating folks not to wait till spring to do engine services, but do them throughout the winter ....... nope they all wait till the end of March and then have to wait as my schedule is full with engine services. Most sail boaters do not understand that they don't own the only boat in a marina. And that a engine service on a 60 foot sport fish with a couple of big cats in it takes longer than their little solo engine that just takes a gallon of oil.
Let's go Brandon

compare it to 22lr
guy never had more than 150 rounds in his life becuase he bought it a 50 round box at a time and the hardware store alwasy had his brand sitting in the same spot behind the counter just asked when he started running low and was at the store for nails or nuts and bolts. 2013 and he starts on his last 50 round box with coons in the hay loft and stops a the hardware and not only is his brand not there but no brand is there , nothing
now he needs 3 bricks and if he sees a 4th at a good price in 2014 he is buying that one also oh and come 2015 he sees his brand and load so he buys 3 of those also
he now has 4 lifetimes of what he has shot in the past 20 years
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
