Doing anything commercial with sportfishing-chartering or tackle has to be somewhat an act of love for the sport.You get to live your passion year round. it's a lot of work an not a load of money but you really get to meet some fantastic people along the way an have a load of fun along with the work you do.The hardest part with any of it is that you get to feel all the new toys and it's very hard to execise self control.Rod builders have loads of sweet rods,plug builders can cover their walls with all the ideas and if you own a shop and fish well you will always have the best an newest. LOL Even as a hobby it's very addictive. If your a hardcore well look out LOL

Give the guy credit for making a go of it. Time will tell if he succeeds commercially but he may just be happy doing what he's doing...and that's all that may matter to him.

Stripermaineiac kind of say a lot about building...even building to sell. The part that I think is best is that the season never ends. When the game you're watching sucks or the weather has you home bound, I find it more than relaxing to spend a few hours in the Mini man cave cranking out a few fish dupers. The guys that you meet, the camaraderie...Priceless! The guys that go about trying to "reinvent the wheel"...more power to them...that's what made the tried and true plugs that we use/build today.
