BH handed me over 700 swimbaits to hand out and for Albion last year. If any of you have seen me during our fishing travels, you know I hand them out. I now have less than 30 at home. Pete has been good to us and also other kayak fishing interests along the way. If some support is shown on our part its a win-win. Thanks, C.

I don't always buy swimbaits (cuz I don't fish that much!  :smt005)...but when I do I buy BigHammers.

I bought several myself, but most were purchased online from an out of state store which might not show as a sale to Northern California depending on how they are tracking their sales.

Antonio, that's what I ordered.  The "seconds" is an unknown but I would expect imperfections in color.  I pour my own swim baits and the only issue I have ever had disappoint me has been color related.  If the color is a little off, I'll just be a little more generous with the pro-cure and squid on the hooks.

I have been corresponding with Pete the owner of BH. Sad to say he handed out more product last year to events and give aways for Nor Cal than was sold in Nor Cal. Thanks you guys for buying some. BH will be supporting Albion again.
Well, it's like crack you see!  I'm sure I bought at least twice as many as have been given to me by good folks like you and Tigerfish.  Had to get certain colors, over and over again.  Dont see as many for sale at my local stores... Had been loading up on them at Outdoor Pro when visiting the SMC, but now they are closed down at that location.

OPS and Pacific Outfitters are the only ones I know about. Ill get the list from Pete. Ask for them at FW. They carry fishtrap I think and it would be great if they carried BH also. Some shops are just  satisfied I believe witht he product they have so if we ask for them specifically they might go ahead and stock them.

Last time I was there I think I seen a very limited selection of them at Bass Pro. I bought a couple but it would be nice if they had a wider selection.

I usually buy from CharkBait when I'm down there but sometimes have to order from the online store.

Yeah, and Mark and Julia are nice folks.  Think there is still a picture of me and Valentina up behind the cash register. LOL!

Walmart in Marina carries BH swimbaits & perch grubs. But not a very wide selection.
