Spindoctor Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I designed the Monster Bow three years ago, and started marketing it last year.Using the same size/weight proportions utilized on all Bow spinners, the Monster Bow is designed around a Diamond hammered, Gold, Silver or copper plated, #8 blade (largest blade made in this category). The MB has a stainless steel backbone with a tinsel strength of nearly 400 lbs. In the current versions I have incorporated a large Mustad 2/0 treble with a long broad/width tinsel skirt, attached via split ring ( may change hook for something more American) . For many years I have found wide tinsel to be fantastically productive on Pike, especially when fly fishing.The 2” body is composed of coated brass of the same tapered beaded design as all Bow spinners.The total weight of this thing is over an ounce, and measures to a length of 8 to 10” depending on the skirt.Currently made in three colors, Silver, Gold and Copper. Too no surprise, since the first, the MB has been a vacuum cleaner on Pike, and although I expected good results, I was astonished at the MB’s attraction to Bass (maybe better than Pike).But the fish that I really want to target is Muskellunge.For the Monster Bow to take a stand in this category it needs to further prove itself in heavy Musky fishing conditions. An acid test much like the testing all Bow spinners are put through. To accomplish this I am going to give out a minimum of TEN sets of Monster Bow spinners, totally free of charges, to interested and productive Musky anglers. Set includes threes Monster Bows, Silver, Gold and Copper. I want the Monster Bow taken to your favorite spot, tested against your favorite lure or bait, in conditions considered favorable as well as unfavorable.I would like you to judge it on performance and productivity. The strength of design, is it combat ready, will it stand up to heavy weight fish? Has it earned a place in your arsenal, and do you like it?All the math and stats are done, and look great, but that is not enough, The Monster Bow has to completely prove itself !Interested Musky anglers, please email your name, address, how soon you need the Monster Bows, and a little bit about yourself too [email protected]John A. Eggers (Spindoctor)Thank you, your help will be very much appreciated.Spindoctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindoctor Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 Thanks folks!That's enough for now.Give me a few days to contact everyone that has responded.I'll be sending out the packages, hopefully by the end of this week in order to get these delivered by the first of June. ES&S is a small family company. With little to no budget to place large adds, our marketing is founded souly on product quality and customer satisfaction. You are our addvertisement!Depending on cost and results we are considering running this request again soon, so keep watching.Thanks and God Bless!John A. EggersThose folks that didn't get in on this offer can view and purchase the Monster Bow at Catch-n.com. Folks in Rochester Mn. area can go to Hooked On Fishing bait and tackle stores, in Faribault Mn. you can go to Fairbault Bait and Tackle, and in Lancaster Wi. check out Anglers Nook.Note: Due to a future packageing change the price of Monster Bows will need to be increased, so you might want to get to these stores now. The afore mentioned stores inventories are currently low and I am considering holding off stocking of the Monster Bow until packageing issues are resolved. This may take until mid June.

Scoot Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I've also tried to e-mail you a bunch of times in the past 10 days and have struck out. What's up?------------------ScootRodsbyEngel: custom made fishing rods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of luck Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Did you get your quota filled for field testers? If you need a responsible young guy in the West Metro to help out, shoot me an email. I found one of my bucktails to be quite effective on large bass, wondering if your product would have the same results.Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindoctor Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thank you everyone!The response has been overwhelming, to say the least. I believe that I have recieved all of your e-mail and will be getting back to you soon. The amount of folks needed has been exceeded many times over. No more entrees please!Once again thanks much!John A. Eggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I got mine last night. Man do they look sexy! Lots of flash and pizzaz. I don't chuck many bucktails early in the season to see how they run and cast. Outta the package they look like a million bucks!------------------ScootRodsbyEngel: custom made fishing rods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindoctor Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Thanks Scoot,I just e-mailed you today along with many others, to find out if the shipping went ok before I mail out any more.To all other folks that replied; I am still sorting and will be getting back to you one way or the other soon.No more requests please, Large spinners like these are expensive to make and ship. Comparable spinners of this nature sell as high as $15 each, so I cannot afford to give out any more at this time.Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.Spindoctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclymer Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I got mine today, and I will put them to the test next week. I will be spending almost a week on Cass and Bemidji... I'll update !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuKiddingMe Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Got mine last night, they'll get a solid test run this weekend. I'll keep y'all posted on the outcome.ThanksRU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie-searcher Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I recieved mine earlier this week and have taken them out for a test spin already. They add a new look in the tackle box and I am sure they will produce. I picked up a few pike the other day using the copper tone spinner fishing shallow water on the St. Louis River.As soon as the Muskies turn on, we will really be able to test them.

jclymer Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I ran the silver for about an hour on Saturday. I will say the lure looks much better in the water than out of the water. I had no follows, nothing, but it was also a slow day for my boat. We had no follows all day, I had one fish committe to a Rad Dog and I set the hook to early and pulled it away from the fish before it had a chance to engulf the lure. I do believe that these lures will produce fish, nice bright flash! They will get a shot this entire next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
