Just my 2 cents. I have never ordered anything from Sam the Sinker Man BUT from every post I've ever read on this site, his service is second to none and he's a great guy who goes out of his way to deliver his product and make his customers happy. The guy sounds like a prince! Sometimes it not always about price even though I'm sure his prices are competitive if not the lowest. BUT, in this &^%$#( up economy, I'm sure like everyone else he's trying to make a living and it sounds like he is at the top of the spectrum in customer service, something many businesses have forgotten what it means. My point is he's a sponsor, his reputation is phenomenal and like all of us I'm sure he can use our support. I assume you didn't mean this with your post but it comes across a bit as if you're calling him out to be low cost producer. If so, sponsors don't need that here, they need our help to make ends meet and in this particular case we're talking about someone who apparently goes way beyond the call of duty to service the members of the NJ Fishing community. My point is sometimes price isn't always the most important criteria especially in a service business and try being a bit more sensitive to the sponsors when it comes to questions like you asked because it almost sounded like you were calling Sam out. Not suggesting you were, not coming at you just thought maybe it could be construed that way to a guy who is a true benefit to this board. Maybe something along the lines of "Sam could you please PM me your prices when you have a chance, I'd appreciate it" as opposed to throwing out your prices may have been more appropriate. Sinkers and buck tails are not my business but like everything else I'm sure the quality of the lead, especially with buck tails, is probably as important as what the price is. The way you asked your question doesn't allow for that variable. My only point is please use discretion when discussing prices or services with sponsors relative to their competition. They are here to make a living, but more so they're here to benefit us and deserve our support.
Enough said.

PS
Sam if you can, could you please PM me if you see this post and have time. As I just mentioned, I've heard ONLY great things about you and your service. Fluke fishing is just around the corner and I'd like to place an order for bucktails similar to the ones that started this thread by Makosnax. They look great and it's a great cabin fever medication to get ready for the season. Thanks!
