Springer Primer, kustom kwikfish

[steelheadslayer]

Here are a few more custom Kwikies I picked up tonight.


The top one is indy car, middle is salmon slayer and the lower one is the blue streak.

What do you think? Will these dogs hunt?

[ZaQ]

They are no good, send them over to me and I will get rid of them for you.

[Dinikin]

I you would have not posted it, I probably would not have plans to visit BOB's store.

Looks like a trip to Bob's is in order. How come Bob's has all the killer new colors? Are they painting up their own?

Yowza! Those are hideous! They should all have "www.ifish.net" on them. Every darn last one of those!!

Wowza! Reminds me of some gawdy red lip sticked lady!

I picked up one each of the indy cars and salmon slayers at Bob's last weekend. They look pretty fishy. Those main colors of the body are more of a gold color. The light your camera caught them in makes them look a bit more green than they are. It's an interesting color no doubt.

Freespool,

Brad had Luhr-Jensen paint up a bunch of different custom colors. It is my understanding that Bob's is going to be the only one carrying these particular colors.

Bob's always have a few custom colors every year. Almost anybody can have custom if they order enough.

Those look like K13, what other sizes do they come in?

[Pitch Pocket]

Here are a couple I found at GI Joes that I hadn't seen before.



I hope they hunt!

[Mojo]

None of these will catch fish! They also turn the bite off on whole sections of river! They must be destroyed in a controlled manner. I will be glad to take care of your problem for you! Honest....

[skrimmy]

David - they had those colors in larger sizes as well. I picked up a couple in K14 size, but they K15's too, but I don't remember if they had 16's.

[Steelerdan]

Where can I pick some of those up? Where is Bob's please?

[steelheadslayer]

David, they have them in K13-15. They didn't get any 16's painted I believe due to the new makeup of them, just like the 13. The ones pictured are K13 and skrimmy is right, the color is more of a gold green? I liken it to the fickle pickle for base color. Bobs is in Longview.

Last spring I made a special trip to GI Joes at Delta park because Bob's was out of the new California Watermelon. The salesman at GI Joes told me that they can't get that one yet. I told him that Bobs just had them but ran out. He said Bobs has some kind of deal with Lure Jensen that they get the new models first. Sometimes up to a year before anyone else can have them. I was amazed that the little store in little Longview had such power. I have to admit that sometimes Bobs impresses me with what they have for being a non-chain store in a little town. They seem to do pretty good with Brads lures also.

Hey Jennie, have you ever tried getting Bobs to advertise on Ifish?

[HntnFsh]

They do pretty good with Brads stuff becaus he is the buyer for them.Its a little easier to get your products on a stores shelves when your in that position.His dad is Larry Schoenborn so I'm sure he is right up there in the connections dept.
If your ever in Bobs stop by and say Hi to him.He is about the nicest guy you'll ever meet.Plus is great at sharing his knowledge.
I drive by FMS and GI Joes everyday.But would rather shop at Bobs.I like their prices,selection and courteous help.I could tell you a couple stories about customer service that would amaze you.I'm not dissin the other 2 stores.They are great places.I've just been sold on Bobs because of my experiences there.
