Yup! Limited! I find the "Danny" a tough sell.....there are a few good ones out there. However I have had a few folks request these so I have been working on getting them just right....and they are. So we will see how they sell, and how folks like them.  My numbers figure to be less than 300 available for the season. |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

It amazes me that Danny's are such a tough sell - they are my favorite plug to fish.
See you at RISAA  |

Pearl?......But of course!
Maybe not that they are a hard sell as there are many different builders who make them and I need to test the market before I go too crazy! Its hard to get fishermen to try anything new! |

that isn't exactly true , just post some pics on the internet with the plug in some slobs face. I think it's partially true the not knowing if it works part and the too cheap to shell out some money part if they already have something that works.
anyway, I like Dennis, he is a nice guy.
good luck Larry, you have good paint skills. |

You should sell them just fine, everything I own with a Bigfish name on it has worked so far, you can count me in for a pair when they are available. I know you test your designs enough for me to even worry about it. |

Many make them. Not as many make them right. Or they're extremely rare and/or expensive. There's definitely a market, in my opinion. |

yup. there will be a market if they swim right and are relatively easy to get (available). problem is that alot of people have bought some of the new danny's that come along every once in a while and are disappointed. eventually they give up on buying and being dissappointed and spend their efforts trying to get their hands on the "rare and/or expensive" ones as Pete said. Just look what a BM or RM Smith danny gets on ebay and SOL. If your danny's swim right, and I'm not trying to imply that they won't, and you can get them out to some experienced and impartial testers and develop good word of mouth - I think you'll do really well with them and find a market. The impartial thing is the tough part. Everybody kind of kisses everyones ass on these sites when it comes to plugs (usually trying to get free stuff) and it gets to the point that you can't trust 95% of the opions on plugs given here, especially plugs made by sponsors (kind of a "he's one of us" thing). |

wasn't trying to imply anyone sucks, hope it didn't come off that way. just pointing out that its tough to get good word of mouth going because opinions get so watered down, and that seams to be the most important thing when it comes to marketing and creating demand for plugs.
