I have had good luck with the menace grub and structure bug. The square bills are pretty good and I have caught fish on the series 6 crank baits. Lots of choices now for us and that is a good thing.

Jeff, I admire you for having the courage of your convection and going public with this information.
I have no doubt that you are an honest individual and are being truthful in all aspects of your post.
Best of luck to you going forward and without a doubt you will continue to be involved in doing great things within the fishing industry.
I thought the author or the piece was Sam Lashlee?

I have moved away from them as well, all I really like from them now is the red eye shad, and their square bills but I have had problems with the bills breaking on them as well so I have mostly gone to other brands for them as well.
Their quality problems, at least in their finished, go back way before the buyout. Red Eye Shad for example came out in 2008 and while I love the baits fish catching ability the finishes especially the chromed ones sucks. I have chromed Rat L Traps that are over 30 yrs old, caught a ton of fish, and still look good. Red Eye Shad catch 10 or so fish and the chrome is all scraped off.
My mistake, Jeff wasn't the author....since Jeff made the OP I'm confident it's true.
So when did this sale take place? I need to know if my SK baits are pre-sale or post-sale I don't keep up with these things much.
They made great products for a long time. Too bad the bean counters wreck everything just to make a couple per cent more margin.

That's cold , but ....
Cold? Maybe. True? I'd bet on it.
Sounds like pretty much ever single company, make crap and charge more. Nobody makes things to last, there is no money in that.

Blah blah blah. Sam has a big ego. “Look at me! I am quitting!” He posted it on more than one group page on FB. Move on clown…. Does anyone know who he is?

1 ex-employee (clearly unhappy) with only anecdotal statements & opinion. Not saying he is wrong but my SK baits seem fine as always.
Rumor, a waypoint getter for SK touring pros
and flw friends at Ky lake,dock talk back in
the day.
Heck, KVD, the face of SK's products, especially the crank baits, was always telling people to change out the hooks on the cranks for as long as I can remember.
And the statement about the average fisherman not knowing how to tune a crank is laughable.
The dude definitely had an axe to grind.
You better know how to tune a crankbait if you ever fish a Bill Normans as in 40 years I have yet to see one run straight out of the packaging.
Have to agree with this statement.
So how long did it take him to become honest?
Thanks. Now I remember it being discussed here but didn't pay much attention back then.
