The author of the topic is not the manufacturer. He was plugging Zach's stick and body baits he painted. I don't see why this bothers you so much. If you want to know more, PM Zach.
By the looks of it, he is trying to get it started making brown baits. Many people (including myself) have started a business making tackle right here on LOU. It's great for the guys to get quality baits from a guy like Zach. Stand up guy that makes a great product.

But the money you spent on groceries, everyday stuff, gas and heating your home made that a loss. Everything has gotten more expensive in the past three years.
