Title: Nemesis Baits Shirts
Post by: mikesmiph on January 21, 2011, 07:19:06 PM
I have been given the honor of becomming the clothing Guru for Nemesis Baits. I know there have been some issues getting shirts before. Thats all behind us. The big difference this time will be a pay first process. I need a minimum of 25 units to place an order. I have orders for 4 right now, so 21 more. When I know that I have enough to order I will ask everyone to pre pay. That way, I'm not hanging on to your money while I wait for more orders. The order will go in immediatly. Here are the prices:
2x and 3x hoodies $35
2x and 3x t-shirts $20
smaller one are slightly less, I dont have a firm cost yet
We will ship for $5, but hopefully this can all be done before the GR show.

Just let me know what you need.

We all use the baits, lets be proud to advertise it.

I have two Nemesis Baits Skirts!

I have a hoodie already. 

I just love the logo on the back.  I think it's one of the best logos in the fishing arena.

Might I suggest for future "runs" that a smaller version of the logo go on the front as well, Nemesis Baits in small letters right below it. 

Just my two cents.

I'd be interested in a Large.

Well, this topic sure did degrade fast. How did we get from Nemesis Shirts to west side zombie women? I need more orders, or none of us are going to get shirts this year.

What color are the shirts? I want an XL or an XLT if they are not dark in color.  Dark shirts seem to attract bees to my fishing spot.  For some reason I can't catch any fish when I'm thrashing around like an idiot.

Mike,

Throw me in for a Medium mate and let me know how and when to pay!!  I understand postage may be a little more expensive to Australia but that's cool!!

Bees didn't use to bother me at all, but then this happened.

We have two pro sand volleyball courts at my bar.  We used to have to wooden shower stalls outside.  No roofs, just three walls and a door, back to back.  people kept ruining them and doing stupid things in there.  We decided to just screw the doors shut.  About a year later, somehow, someone hit a volleball in there over the wall.  I climbed over the wall and jumped in.  Turns out that there was a bee nest, hornets actually, the yellow ones, about the size of a really big pie plate under the floor, and 2 more, the same size, between the walls.  I made them angry by jumping in.  every time i tried to climb out they kept stinging me, 24 times in all.  somebody stuck his hand up, I grabbed it and jumped.  I did a really pretty face plant on the ground.  Oh yeah, the whole time I screamed like a little girl, lol.  That many stings gets you stoned by the way, but not a good high at all.  And from now on, I am no longer friends with bees, hornets, wasps, or any other flying creature that stings.  The problem is I think they smell fear now.  They hunt me down on the water.  If you see me driving around the lake like an idiot, there are bees chasing me.  My boat only goes 2 mph faster than bees for some reason.  After a half hour of driving away from them,  they are back with me in only 5 minutes.

Post by: mikesmiph on January 27, 2011, 07:37:09 AM
Frank, they are light grey. I read somewhere that light grey is invisible to bees. It actually repels them. Something to do with the light spectrum going through the matrix, causing some sort of laser function. I dont remember the proper wording. Anyway, I have you and Colin down lol

Post by: Skulley on February 26, 2011, 03:21:21 PM
Mike, I will take two (2) XXL t-shirts and one (1) XXL Hoodie.  Let me know when I need to pay and I will send you a check or meet you somewhere and pay you cash money.  I like the idea of a small logo on the front of the shirt and hoodie, too.  Maybe Nemesis down the sleeves of the hoodie.  If a long sleeve t-shirt, Nemesis down the sleeve of that.  If you are going to get long sleeve t's I will take one of each in a XXL.  If not, two (2) short sleeve.

Post by: mikesmiph on March 04, 2011, 11:28:46 AM
Ok, we finally have enough for an order. Heres how I'll work it. I will be at the Grand Rapids show all weekend, so will Brian. If you are going to be there too, you can give either of us the money. If you arent going to be there, you can mail me a check. My address is 6349 Chicago Rd, Flushing, MI 48433. For now, we will put the cost at $20 for a t-shirt, and $30 for a hoodie up to XL. $35 for a larger hoodie. The price may come down a little on the regular sized t-shirts. If it does, I will refund any money you sent over the cost. Thanks guys, I know Veronica thanks you too. Shes hoping for her pink hoodie before fishing season. LOL

Post by: mikesmiph on March 04, 2011, 11:32:09 AM
I forgot a couple things. Colors, any light colors will work fine, with a dark shirt, they would have to change the colors of the logo and it would cost more money. They can do long sleeves, but the logo would be the same as on the short sleeves. Logo on the back, and Nemesis Baits on the front. Let me know if you want anything other than a grey short sleeve t-shirt, or a grey hoodie.

If Im ouchin $20 for a t shirt, I guess something on the sleeve wouldnt hurt ??

Anyway - Brian, I support you and your endeavors bro.

I picked up my Nemesis Shirts today from Mike.  THEY ARE NICE!!!  I knew Mike would do a first class job on them.  HE DID!!!  The only thing that might of made the hoodie nicer would have been to have GreatLakesBass.com down both sleeves and being made in the USA.........but that's just the union guy in me.  Can't have everything but I got a nice hoodie and two nice shirts...............and I don't even own a Nemesis Bait.  Wait, that's not entirely true.  Brian gave me a sample of the gobie pack about three years ago.  I still got it and it is still unopened.  And they are in the boat.  One of these days Brian, when I am not catching them that good, I will tie that bait on.  That's why I have never spoken for his bait.  I can't.........I have never fished it.............but I got two nice shirts and a hoodie.  They're GQ.   And when the wife saw me wearing the hoodie, she couldn't keep her hands off me.     :o            :o           :o

Just wanted to shout a big thanks to Mike for stepping up and getting this done.  Picked my hoodies up at the meeting, and they look great.  Coming in handy with this cold weather still around.  And will also this summer when there is a chill in the air.
And I believe I have one or two packs of these baits around.  Big Dog, if you think your catching them good without using these baits, then your missing out big time!

There was never another opportunity that I know of to get a Nemesis Bait shirt that I can remember.  I ordered them when Mike was taking orders and paid for them in full.  As far as the bait is concerned, I am representing S.W.A.G.Jigs (http://www.swagjigs.com).  I could use the drop shot stuff but I wouldn't use the jigs.  It would be unethical.  I have never been very confident in my skirted jig fishing and I don't fish the drop shot.  I used some S.W.A.G. prototypes and I got more confident.  The owner of the company was with me and I was convinced by the performance of the jig.  I caught more fish on that jig in a day that I have caught in a lifetime using a jig on Erie and St. Clair.  Also it was good on a couple of my favorite inland lakes.  I usually fish jig worms.  Never to many jig n pig combos...........until I used the S.W.A.G. (http://www.swagjigs.com)  I think I will do a science project so I will get some other jigs and compare them.  Like I said though, I have never been a skirted jig fisherman.  So for my science project, I would like to purchase two Nemesis Skirted jigs. Both 3/8's ounce.  One in a black/blue because that is a Denny Brauer text book color and I think he is the epitome of jig fisherman.  The other in a Pumpkin Green because my other favorite jig fisherman is Tommy Biffle.  So Brian I will send you a pm with my cell number.  You can call me and I can meet you at Hooters for a beer and wings and pick up my jigs.  I'll buy the beer and the wings........and the jigs.  

FOB, I am catching them good and have been catching them pretty good since well before TCook was born.  Because I was about 21 or 22 when he was born and I was fishing St. Clair with my uncle since I was about 8 years old.  I will eventually break in that sample pack of Nemesis gobies open but don't know when.............like I said when I am not catching them good.  That hasn't been in a long time.  It may be years before that happens..............I don't know.  But like I said I will be sporting some GQ fishing gear.

Mike, I am the fish catching machine...........not a bait. lol   8)    They help the fish catching machine..........lol    8)     Oh unless you mean when that bait is tied on the fish come automatic.  Is that your confidence bait???  I always wonder what people use for their confidence bait.  On St. Clair, mine is a pink sluggo weightless except for a swivel about 30 inches from the bait.  I sometimes draw eyes on the bait with a sharpie.

And the best part about the shirts and hoodie is that my wife couldn't keep her hands off me.
