Good stickbaits.  Easy to swim, excellent wiring, good finishes and majorly good value for money.  Look at the slow sinking/suspending types as well as the floating models.

Have enjoyed awesome success of late on the SS models, super hard paint jobs, swim very easy, if I was to be critical, the belly swivel needs to be better, at least Owner but these things catch fish!

It really is bloody disgraceful for a swivel to fall out of a lure. It shows a complete lack of quality control

Hi Brandon

Thanks for your insight.
If a swivel, by chance, was to fall out of any of my lures I have no problem replacing it.
( This is a standard Warranty on any ASWB lure )
Either contact the store you bought it from for replacement or contact myself direct.
No problems.

I'm not going to bore you with how this happens, maybe Brandon can fill you in.

Regards

Do you have a personal gripe with ASWB lures, Brandon?

I've seen this occur twice before on different brands, both of which are included in your 'Recommendation for Poppers' thread.
http://www.gtpopping.com/forum/index.php?topic=1124.0

I think it could happen with any lure, no one is immune.

It is a simple fact. For something like that to happen raises some obvious questions on quality control and it doesn't matter what brand this happens with. I don't think one needs to have a personal gripe to make this observation. Is there some reason why you are so sensitive about it?

I agree with Jay, I found your statement a bit harsh, and it did come across as a direct attack on their product.

How many big brand items, with full QC Departments have recalls on products. Faults happen with ALL products, regardless of how tight the QC Process.

PS: I have no affiliation with ASWB.

Ben, my comment was not intended as an attack on ASWB products but I stand by my comment on what it reflects on quality control. I did not express a view on how the product performs.

Hello Guys.

To start off with i will tell you how i see it. (That's right i am a strait shooter)
The way i read this thread is that it seems to be a personal attack on Brandon for having a opinion. And i agree with his opinion
It really is bloody disgraceful for a swivel to fall out of a lure. It shows a complete lack of quality control
Now let's not turn the thread into a shit fight. Brad has stated ( This is a standard Warranty on any ASWB lure )  and this is good to know.

Cheers Rob

Thanks Rob but I have responded with my position and I don't see any benefit in continuing this debate.

Hi Guys

Lets know drag these "debate" further. We are all here in the good name of sharing.

Lets hope Brad (ASWB) continues making good quality lures. Nothing is perfect(incl famous JAP company).

Hi Brad

Hope you don't take it personal. With feedback, then comes improvement, right ?

Cheers Guys !

None whatsoever, was just an observation. I agree with Bens statement.

Asked a simple question and got a complicated response.  C'mon guys, we are all here for the same reason.

Cast further, catch more

As I raised the issue I'll make hopefully the final comments on it.
Firstly when I raised the issue with Stu at Elite he offered to replace the faulty product unseen immediately,and he did.
Secondly after 24hrs or so of making the comment on this forum I received a private written apology form Brad at AWSB to which I replied.
I would suggest various Reel manufactures could take a leaf out of AWSB's book when it comes to Customer Service.The End!!!!!
