black dog baits

[mm]

Does anyone know how to get ahold of these guys?
My 13 yr. old son saved up to buy a shellcracker only to have the tail snap off on the THIRD cast.
I have been trying to call the# on their web site but the message I get is mailbox full.

pm me your address and I will make sure you get a few tails sent to you.....

i make the replacement tails for Black Dog baits. PM me your address and i will hook you up.

Same thing happened to me last Thursday on Sam Rayburn, only it was about my 5th cast.
Do they make a more flexible tail, like on other swimbaits?

[Slippy]

the original tails were made from Acrylic, the ones i made are either plexiglass or g-10 (almost unbreakable).

I like the g-10 tails they have good action.

[GregD]

Good choice with the G-10. Acrylic would be way too brittle.

I just picked up a 'cracker and Go To Minnow and they both appear to have a tail made of a G-10 type material.

The last week has been busy to say the least and the phone has rang non stop. I apologize for the inconvenience and would be happy to take care of your sons bait. Email me your info and i will send out a replacment with a prepaid shipping label so you you can return the broken one. Again I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Sincerely,
Jeremy Anderson

Can I get in on that deal too? Also, I didn't look too close, but does the pin for the tail piece go all the way through the tail? What is the best way to remove that pin?

Thanks

[Wild Bill]

That's great customer service !

I look forward to trying these Black Dog Baits this year hopefully.
Being located on the east coast in NY, we do not have the awesome tackle shops to peruse stuff like are found in California.

[lunker punker]

Peter you absolutely can get in on the tail deal. We had our factory screw up a small batch of tails. For me this is totally unacceptable and will take care any customer with any problem bar none. Email me your info and ill get a new tail out to ya. The pin goes almost all the way through but not quite. When you switch it out use a small dab of super glue to prevent water intrusion where the pin enters and exits.

Just a note, I take a treble hook and tie on chicken feathers. Knock out the pins and put the hook in to replace it. Works for me. I do this to all my baits that have hard tails, more action, more hooks. I have one of those go-to minnows that doesnt swim right. It side strokes. I just can bring myself to send it back because it flat out sticks fish even running sideways.

Hey lunkerpunker how about returning your phone calls? Always have something else to do like fishing.

DO

Hey jeremy its elliott just got back from el salto and it just so happens that the tail broke off my "special" shellcracker so should I get the tail through rich or through you? by the way if you ever go take about 100 weedslingers because those fish gobble them
