Over the past few years it's been apparent that I have arthritis in both my hands. Over the last year and half painting it's gotten progressively worse. I took a break painting this summer and haven't been in nearly as much pain and it's lead me to start making some decisions on the direction of BAM Plugs.
1. I keep painting and destroy my hands.
2. I paint here and there, and release stuff as it gets done.
3. I switch from a product sales point to manufacture and sell blanks.
Don't take this the wrong way, I still want to paint. I've been looking into spoons and a few other things.
For now I think its wise to just continue to do custom orders and repaints. My blanks will likely be on the way, I'll likely offer the regular plug and Cut plug style. I'll leave the BamPlug, thin Swim, and hot bait for limited release.
If we sell the plugs, they'll be ready to accept paint/primer, likely won't come with a hook harness.
I still plan to develop plugs and other lures, It's honestly what I enjoy the most. Let me know what you all think.
