Frostbite Page is now up

[hnd]

I would like to buy a dinner bell but not until I can get it from someone else.

L.O.L.

The video answers all the questions about J/S and Frostbite...I wouldn't call Frostbite a big company
They had a deal with DellaBay to get their feet wet into ice rods (haha) but shifted their rod's to mass produced China to likely get a better profit margin. It is much easier to get small batch rods built in the USA vs China. I'd speculate Frostbite wanted to jump into the market, did what they could to make a name, then are shifting over to easy/cheaply mass produced products here after

He's a one man shop and demand is so high he can't keep stuff in stock for those asking about inventory.. had a "release" two nights ago, and well as you can see it was a sell out. Demon spoons where gone in 10 minutes or so.

Big company taking him to court? Who the h— is Frostbite Lures? Just a pimple on the back of the big companies.

For real.

Limited stock on some items.

I noticed that there was a posting for dinnerbell 2.0 when the site was closed. Does anyone know what these look like? Trying to decide if I want to wait or just buy dinnerbell 1.0.

I assume they are not going to sell the "1.0". I have no idea what was changed, as they look functionally the same. The "2.0" is on the website right now so you can see what they look like for yourself.

I had ordered a couple dinnerbells last year and couple more last week that arrived in the mail today. I can't see any noticeable differences. Even the packaging is the same...unless I received last years stock 

[struckus]

Got my order of dinner bells in..man the larges are huge..ordered 4 more mediums ..large would be good for lakers or big pike..

[bwjay]

I was really hoping they'd have some small ones in stock that I can use for finicky trout, but they don't have any right now.

I reached out and this was the response I received on the micro "we’ll be looking at bringing in micros I believe in November! Thanks for reaching out!"

Oh heck yeah. Guess they will be getting some more of my money. My stuff should be showing up tomorrow.

[bwjay]

Got my order today! Remember guys, 2 is 1 and 1 is none, so, buy 3.  The Tantrums were just the "might as well" addon; what I really wanted were the Dinner Bells. Looking forward to hunting down some big trout and pike with these puppies. I've got a lot of hooks and split rings to swap out though...

if i stopped buying things from companies that had douche's involved in them i'd have too much money and not enough stuff.

bwjay...You are setup! Those fish won't stand a chance around you this season!!

Last year’s stock. 2.0 won’t be available until December.

Did they tell you this? The placeholder page they had on their site specifically said something like "all items in stock October 2020 + Dinner Bell 2.0!".

I'm wondering what they could have changed, honestly.

I got a response from them on Facebook messenger. My guess it lines up with the St Paul show that’s happening in early December.

My guess is newer colours or stronger hooks.

Are there issues with the hooks? I saw someone else say they would be replacing the hooks? I just put a decent order in

[Fry Flier]

Do not know about a hook issue but when in dought replace with what you have faith in.

The stock hooks aren’t stellar. They get full fast. I’ve also heard reviews that upsizing the hook is recommended for better hookup ratio.

The St Paul Ice Show isn't happening this year unfortunately. Interested to see what 2.0 could have. I'll be putting some Owner Hyper Wire split rings and Gamakatsu trebles on them and they should be good to go. I don't know if the stock hooks/split rings are bad, but I like to replace hardware on most baits I buy unless the stock stuff is great.

You’re right, I misread the St. Paul’s dates. The hooks were an issue and paint was coming off. I don’t know how’d they improve the thing when my gut says they offshored production to increase profit margins.

You’ll know if they offshored it for sure when you see knock offs showing up on aliexpress  for a fraction of the cost 😆
