Greetings all. As we head into the new fishing season, I just wanted to make everyone aware of a couple of updates regarding DJW:
First, is that the will be NO price increases for '09. Raw materials continue to increase, but I believe I can hold where I'm at right now and be okay. Looking at the '09 prices for several of the larger wire bait manufacturers, my prices are still below - sometimes WELL below - theirs, so you can have someone in Mexico build your baits to their spec if you want, or you can have me do it to YOUR spec and I promise you mine will outlast theirs.
Second, is that I'm only planning to roll out one new bait for '09 (right now) and that will be a hidden weight spinnerbait. I'll have pics soon, but the new SB will be available in 1/2oz, 3/4oz, and 1oz sizes only. The standard SB will still be available in 5 sizes.
One other note is that certain times of the year may increase turnaround on your orders due to volume. To be honest, '08 was a very busy year for me and while I appreciate the orders, it buried me at times since this is something I do in my "free time." Not only am I a husband and father, but I also have a full-time job that doesn't involve building baits. That said, I'll do everything possible to quickly turn your orders around but my family comes first.
I thank everyone for their support and wish you all a safe and fulfilling '09 fishing season. From myself, Rachel, Parker, and the Dixie Jig Works Custom Baits 'Bro Staff, we'd like to remind everyone that mass-produced baits are for trained monkeys ... don't be a trained monkey.
