  1. Because of a seasonal increase in sales, we have not been able to keep our website updated with new flavor, or inventory information. We have a number of flavors that have never been listed, and many flavors that may show as being "out of stock" have been restocked. I would suggest that anyone wishing to place orders with SPS please order directly via e-mail at carpstuff1@aol.com As always, we offer discounts to SP and CAG Members on direct orders. Sam
  2. We have included a few package deals on flavors for the Holiday Season. Go HERE to view the SP/CAG Member Catalog Page. Please remember to include, or E-Mail your CAG Membership Number with orders. Quantities are limited. Merry Christmas from the SPS Crew
  3. Right ON. Actually--I tried talking to them 7 months ago. They seem to operate a lot like----me. I figure that they'll answer my e-mails in 2007. Actually--I was looking into their stuff for the "saltwater" division, and not as a carp bait. Their stuff is available--if you happen to fish all over the place. Their carp baits may have some value as a wild carp bait--I honestly wouldn't know. They may have a problem with calling it "carp candy"--in the US--but thats another story. As far as paylakes use goes, it does have some serious value as a pickup (with modifications). You just never know till you try it. It's worth a try IMHO. I'll be using some this winter--for Stripers at HI. Bravo Sierra
  4. I havn't used the Carp Candy but have used some of their other stuff. It's Soft but firm. Use your imagination Stays on the hook nicely.
  5. Now that the Kats outta the bag--- I'll give Paul a "paylake" plug on this deal. I've worked a project real close to this for over a year. ----and ya know how paylakers work. I don't think that we're talking any revolutionary bait here as far as paylakes go----but smart paylakers may wanna look at this stuff as an alternative to pops. Nuff said.
  6. LOL Yup--Shears is a good un. Prolly one of the best. Problem with paylakers is-----if something works well--they'll never tell. Or--they'll tell you that it didn't catch chit--and then order a case of the stuff under a different name. t.
  7. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Richard, good luck with the bizness. If ya ever want to chat about downfalls of "do it yourself" websites and such, fell free to drop me a line. I suck at "puters" myself, but I'll be happy to share some stories about things NOT to do. t
  8. Good Luck bill. We wish all of you the best. Tim.
  9. Ok, I just gotta ask: Pretty shirt-----but a RED carp and a RED star? Any hidden meaning there? Not that i would mind--a Commie Carp shirt could really appreciate in value over time. Iffn I was doing DC----------beware the the BLUE carp--and the Man who dares to wear it.
  10. Hey--Good luck. If ya ever need a pal to share war stories with, give me a yell. Just remember one thing-----never fear failure. In this bidness---success is what will kill ya.
  11. Hey, I didn't take it that way at all. And yeah, if these guys are still around, word will get to the right ears. Picture this: Saturday AM, 30-40 paylakers standing in the shack, ready to go-----and Bubba yells out---Hey Hill---You're a low life tackle thief. Jimmy say---What?? What the heck are you talking about?? Bubba say--he seez----You're a freakin low life thief---I know 'cause I read it on the Innerdnet. It could very well happen just like dat. My guess is that these clowns are just a couple of paylake wannabes. Fished a few times, thought they we're good---drove across the country to show off--and got spanked. Just the fact that they showed up without the "required" gear tells me that they were clueless. There's a good chance that they have lurked on this board-----so maybe they'll read this, before Bubba embarasses them at a paylake.
  12. True, but there's not a lot of love for a tackle thief within any group. The paylake community is just like any other group. There's a lot of diversity. And, just like any other group, there's the occasional low life. Give it some time. Word of this will get around.
  13. Wow--The power of the internet in action. I'd be ashamed to show my face at a paylake if I we're those guys. Hope you get your gear back, and if not, you can bet that Mr. Hills good name won't be so good anymore, even amongst "friends".
  14. Note: Arrowhead Mills Puffs. If you can get them, they are a good, easy to use pick up. JMHO--Good but nothing really special. It's what you do to the pop that matters. If anyone really wants them bad, Google "Arrowhead Mills Corn Puff". There are a number of health food stores that sell online--and one is freakin dirt cheap. Shipping is a killer though. Items such as pops/puffs don't weigh anything, but require lots of space. Thats why I do not carry them. They make great packaging material, but I hate to sell someone a $1.50 item that cost $0.70 to ship. If it was magic bait--it would be worth it. Best bet for guys who really want them, but have to have them shipped would be for several guys to split a large order and save on the shipping cost. Not knocking them---just trying to help. -t-
  15. Sorry, just havn't had the time to make a tackle section yet, so I hid them at the bottom of THIS PAGE
  16. Hey---Thanks to all for the well wishes. Good point. I should point out that I realize that dragging the members of the paylake community into--and onto the Internet will be a slow process. We didn't get into this as a get rich scheme. In fact--the more I learned about the bait business, the more I appreciated, and respected the established guys who had provided great service to all of us. This is a part time deal--for now--and we are taking things slowly and carefully. We're in for the long haul/big picture kinda thing. We realize that we have to provide the same kind of service that all of the other US carp firms offer, and that we have a lot to learn. Most importantly, it should be noted that we are NOT targeting CAG members as customers, but have been fortunate enough to have the help of a number of members in our R&D and advertising efforts. Thanks -t-
  17. Charley, are you refering to the Arrowhead Mills Corn Puffs maybe? I'm still dancing around with sales depts at several places. They all seem to get a little crazy if they find out that you want to sell their products as carp bait. I've had a number of request for the A/Mills pops, but to be honest, they're not considered to be all that hot around here. I use them at times, and have been for several years, but most of the high rollers around here go an entirley different route. They use the smaller pops, such as Kelloggs Honey Smacks, or even the much cheaper generic brands, and thread 3-6 of thm on the hook. Give that a try. So far I've included some "specialy treated" pops in almost every order. They make great packaging material, and are about the same price as foam peanuts. This does take some time, but I'm doing some serious horse trading trying to get some hard to find items, and cut cost and prices as much as possible. Tim PS ---Thanks Brian and Rob. We're not trying to get to big or anything, we just started looking into the possibilities, and kept digging a deeper hole--and before ya know it, we fell in.
  18. In case you missed the numerous shameless plugs, Buster and friends have opened a online bait and tackle store aimed specifically at paylake fishermen. Southern Paylake Supply The website has been online for several weeks while under construction, and changes will continue. BUT--We think that we have reached the point that we could announce the addition of a few special products. Thanks to our friends at The Boilie Shop, we are able to offer paylake fishermen a line of premium Euro-Style flavors, glugs and---BOILIES. We believe that by stocking Boilie Shop Products, along with our R&W Carp Juice, and Superior Flavors, we offer one of the widest selections of paylake products on the web. We have also recently added heavy duty paylake rod stands, and will continue to add more products as fast as we can. We realize that most CAG Paylakers are very Internet savvy, and already have their own favorite sources for bait and tackle. We would appreciate your help in spreading the word of our site while at the lakes. We also intend to promote CAG in any way possible. If any of the CAG Staff would like to offer help or suggestions in that regard, we would be grateful. We still have a lot to learn, and a few bugs to iron out, but we hope to make a positive contibution to the carp fishing community. Also---Special thanks to Bait-slinger for constantly pointing out misspellings and grammatical errors while we were building the site---I’m sure that there will be many more to come. And--Thanks to the CAG guys who have helped with R&D of our products. Tim
  19. Just to set the record straight--Buster wasn't talking about paylakers. He was refering to Euro guys who will be using paylake STUFF at the ATC. You'll never know it though-- But--- Charlie don't know NC paylakers. Chit, most of them do fish for wild fish at times, and If anybody really believes that NC paylakers don't know how to use a boilie, than they've been seriously BS'd. Thats one reason that many people have a misconception about paylakers---They lie like he11 about what they use, and what they know. I'll prove it while you guys are at the ATC. Anywho--I don't see the ATC as being any kind of Euro vs. paylaker deal. Looks more like a bunch of guys heading out to have a good time, and I hope that all of ya have a ball.
  20. Buster knows whos got game. The flaverators that I'd put my money on (If I still had any) are headin to Austin, and you'd be way surprised to learn who among you has "The Edge". I'm proud to say that some of the Euro bunch ain't above resorting to paylake supplied flavs when the $$$ is on the line. Only thing is---just what the He11 is a paylake "supplied' flavor? SIC 'em boys---
  21. I'll take a shot at this--I've seen it before in Surf Blanks. Basicly--They've taken an "off the shelf" Euro Style--Parobolic Blank, changed the wrap schedule to add a bit more material and stiffness to the butt section in order to make it a bit more acceptable for the US Market. Not really a big deal--It's a "slightly faster taper" Carp Rod. Forget the test curve stuff and it will be easier to understand. Thats all just a guess on my part--but it's not really anything out of the ordinary as far as manufacturing goes--just a different way to say stiffer butt. EDIT--Sorry David--Your post hit while I was typing mine. Sounds like a pretty good rod to me.
