To me they have better action worked as a jerkbait then a steady retrieve. I think they are a good bait, are they as good as the hype??????, I'm still out to school on that one yet.

    Hey Mark, that action has been developed over years of testing, this is just one (two! ) examples of what that "rather bland" action will do to fish:

    Hey don't get me wrong I was not trying to put down the lure as I really liked it and plan to buy a couple of new colors. Netboy my buddy caught a 27 inch striper in the first 30 minutes out of the box the other day and we were both very impressed with the lure. What I was trying to say was I imagined this bait with a bigger wobble, but I was really liking the jerk action of the bait when I put the snap to it in the water. I'm looking forward to buying the deeper lip Gizz4 as I'm sure this will be a killer. Sorry if I offended it was not my intent.

    Hey Mark!
    Thanks for the upbeat response, Hope I didn't offend you either.
    Please do have your bud send us the lure back, address is on the website.
    We'll replace it. We'll make sure his postage is covered too.

    Smack Tackle
    125 Fawn Lane
    Blanchester, Ohio 45107

    We really do want to see the leaker, and really do want to take care of our customers, we'll back these lures up 100%.
    If we can look at the lure, we may be able to pinpoint if our process isn't 100%, and can help prevent future leakers and other malfunctions.
    As for the deep diver, it's coming real soon, I've fished a couple from the current mold, they want to tweak the lip to get optimum action, so it'll be a couple weeks still
    God Bless

    I'll tell him for sure and he can do what he wants from there. Sounds to me like you guys are running a first rate company. If I may make a suggestion is to try to get your product up here in the Louisville area market, I'm sure the level of sales would be worth it. You've certainly got a new customer in me and my fishing partner.

    thanks Mark!
    Hey, help me ID some tackle shops in your area, Louisville and I'll make contact and let the owners go from there.
    We seem to have Gizz4mania on right now in the Cumberland area, would love to see it in Louisville and anywhere else the fish are chasing Gizzard shad or other live minnow crankbaits!

    Smyrna Bait and Tackle, check my spelling on the Smyrna thing. Pepper Tackle on Dixie Highway. ****'s Sporting Goods on Westport Road and US 60. Don't know how you feel about the big box stores. I feel sure Gary at Smyrna would be interested in your baits. Maybe ole Jimbo Dicken can stick in a good word for ya. Hope this helps a little. Hey another thought would be for you to go in person and pitch your lures to the Bass Pro in Clarksville Ind. Most Bass Pro Shops are very eager to put local fish catching things on there shelves. There are plenty of stripers, whites and hybrids in the Ohio River, and Patoka in Indiana has stripers also. Good luck, you are definetely on to something big with this bait that's for sure.

    RE: Bass Pro, we're waiting on Sku's/barcode, BPS here in Cincy is willing to talk to us as soon as we can do that.
    Lot's of stores want the sku, won't be long, then it'll be opening a lot of doors.
    Thanks for the info Mark!
