Dixie Jig Works '09 updates

[RangerRob]

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.

Thanks for keeping the pricing reasonable Rob. I've really enjoyed catching fish on your baits, and will continue to do so.

Guys, you know how you want a particular weigh/ style of bait and just have to settle for whats on the shelf? Here's your answer. I like being able to actually put my eyes on the colors and components before the bait is made! These are high-quality baits that catch fish period!

JDK - Bprice did post a pic of the Rumpshaker in his link. It's a bladed swim jig ~ similar to the chatterbait ~ only mine is weedless and made with a good hook.

I used the DJW new hidden weight spinnerbait this weekend with great success...casts well and runs good in the water. The jigs are the best and I have my own custom color. Great job, Rob!!
