That is the point that I was trying to make in my previous post! It is long past the time to still be sending them back since they have been aware of the problem for several years and have failed to fix the problem. Replacing the spoon is not the answer as they need a permanent resolution to the problem, and especially if you are up here for a week long fishing vacation and lose the use of that spoon for all or part of that vacation.

As stated by me before I will buy a different brand rather than have to send that spoon back! Being able to send it back, although commendable, does not change the fact that I no longer have that $4.00 spoon to use while it is in the process of being replaced. Nor does it change the fact that the spoon losing its paint while on the water has rendered that $4.00 spoon useless or almost useless for the remainder of the day, weekend or week, as it still has to be returned to receive reimbursement/replacement for the poor paint adherence. The problem seems to be that the loss of paint is indiscriminate and can happen to any one of the colors/patterns in their product line, although it seems to affect the silver/nickel spoons more than the others. I am no longer willing to roll the dice to find out if I have purchased a good one or bad one since there are suitable replacements from a variety of manufacturers that don't shed their paint.

I still feel that if they ever get the problem solved, their spoons would be one of the finest walleye spoons on lake Erie. I do believe that they have made a lot of improvements to the paint adherence but there is a large amount of improvement yet to be made.
