3:16 Lure Company?

Do they make hard baits anymore? Everything they have on there website has sold out for quite awhile now.

Well if you want to play the 316 game then you can get one. Mickey controls when he releases baits. You can check the site night and day and maybe one day they will be for sell. He is creating a hype. This has been going on for some time. It makes it so those in the know get baits then turn around and sell them for more money. Until it goes back to the way it was Ill pass. Good luck.

first of all NO one knows when they are gonna drop. But there is about one a month. Second of all Mickey wont sell to you if he knows you resale the baits. And there is a limit of two per customer on all releases. He releases 100 at a time, so the stock is thin to start with. And the baits are 100% hand made in the USA, no mass produced china junk. Dont know about you but Me myself, I support small business in the USA. With all the soft plastics 3:16 pours the hard baits are hard to keep up with im sure. And for the record I own NO 3:16 hardbaits cuz there tough to get. And you can get 3:16 hardbaits on classified sections of different forums all the time. 3:16 does not promote re-selling their baits for personal profit. You can email the man himself and express intrest or disdain for his company and I am sure he would be happy to reply.

C'mon dude you can go to his forum and after he releases them a week later they will be for sell in the classified section on his forum. I can tell you screen names of the guys that do it over and over. Yes some know in advance. I know this because the phones and emails start blowing up right before the release. I know this because I was one of this always trying to get baits.
Yes the baits are made in the USA. There are many big baits that are made here still. If he has such a demand and he has for a couple years now then why not hire people to help build baits? It's not like he's not charging enough to hire a crew. I could go on and on but I won't. Im sure one of MIckeys minions will be along shortly to defend the way he does things. Like I said good luck!

Funny this came up. I just emailed them today to see if they are still making hard baits. I currently have 2 Wake Jr swimbaits & have caught many fish on the. I even broke one the rocks & contacted Mickey, he replaced it for me at a considerable discount. I think it's great that he has that kind of demand for his baits. Mickey's attention to detail & the way his baits work are second to none & I imagine if he hires people to keep up with demand that the quality might suffer. I don't know why anyone would be bashing him for the way his does business, his company is successful, baits are hand made in the USA, & I'm sure he's happy with the way things are going or he would change things up or shut the company down. I say way to go Mickey, I wish I had your talent so I could get out of the rat race.
