I just wanted to let everyone know a spring sale is coming, I have been trying to get a large retail order out while being sick for what seems like an eternity, I was shooting for the first week of March on the sale , but that isn't going to happen, I am now shooting for the second or third week in March. I will be loading up my bargain bin with twin packs of jigs, spinnerbaits, hair jigs, plastics, and one off stuff that I have meant to get rid of for along time. The bargain bin items will be heavily discounted and the br10 code will still be active throughout the sale. The good thing about doing the sale this way is bargain bin items will be in stock and there will be no waiting on shipping for these items!
EXCELLENT!!!
A sale, plus BR10 discount...what's not to like!
I see a huge order in my future!
I was planning on making an order here soon. Perfect timing on the sale. Looking forward to trying out some northstar baits!

You won't be disapointed, I can almost promise you that. I've been putting off ordering a few of the new colors posted recently because my jig boxes are getting pretty full, but here is my chance/excuse to get it done . I'll be anxiously waiting
Hope your feeling better River Rat
The premier Jigs look very good, but how do you guys match trailer color on them. They looks good, but I think might be a bit hard to match it up with the same color trailer? I am wondering what do you guys use?
Matching the trailer to the skirt color is a good way to start, but it isn't always as important as what some people would have you believe. For the most part, I try to match them up, but there are a few combos I use that are very succesful and do not match up at all. My personal favorite is a green pumpkin trailer on a PB&J (Brown and Purple) colored jig. Most of my other jigs are color matched with the trailer just for simplicity sake, but don't be afraid to slap on a trailer that doesnt match the jig. You might find out something that most other anglers on that water don't know
Perfect!

I am going to buy some jigs in 1/4 or less ..
Excellent.
Too bad I didn't know about the br10 code a few weeks ago when I order lol
Will you mention sale on Facebook? I don't get on here daily however I have North Star "liked", I'm more likely to see it there.
Yes I will post on facebook, also for those returning customers make sure you watch your email's (check junk folder) because I send an email out every month that has specials for returning customers!
I've been thinking about purchasing some of these jigs for a while now, the sale just gives me a great reason to go ahead and pull the trigger ;D
I'm excited need to stock up on a few jigs and have heard nothing but good things about northstar jigs! I'll be placing an order.

I weighed in some heavy sacks of smallmouth last fall with the help of a Northstar Hairy Craw jig. I even had a few people trying to buy them off me.
I'd love to see a long arm spinnerbait added to the lineup...

Hmmm. I've ordered from you several times but have never seen an email from Northstar.

They go to your junkmail/spam box, which is why I've never seen one either. I didn't even realize I was getting them or that they included specials, until I searched my spam box after reading RiverRat's earlier post.
Thanks BT. I actually check my junk folder often. Does it come from his @yahoo address? I added it to my contacts just in case. Gonna have to try out his Wacky Jigs this year.
I believe it comes from my yahoo account? I am not really sure, I use a service and they send them out for me. for those that get the emails the offers are always on the bottom of the pages, its something I just started the 1st of the year but I am going to keep it going so keep your eye out for them!
Can't wait for your sale to start, I am in need of restocking for the year.

well im S O L start work at 6 am not off til 230 o well hopefully something will be left
How in the world do you add stuff to your cart from the bargain bin? I'm going to end up having to leave for work before I can get this order out!
...Nevermind just noticed it says 7 central time. Meaning it starts when I start work, nice. With my luck everything that I was going to get will be gone.
Call in and say you will be about 30 minutes late lol.
QuoteCall in and say you will be about 30 minutes late lol.
Actually, I really would, but I'm the only one that does what I'm doing and have deadlines and the later I come in the more screwed I am and could possibly get stuck there later than 3.
Everyone just try and save me a little something. ;D I'm in need of some jigs since I tend to lose at least one on every outing.
That sucks man...
bin looks good chris!
Yes it does
Open for business!!
Order made, first time trying these jigs.
This is crap, looks like it wont let me buy either because my limit is to big and I need all my bank info, which is at the house...
1st Timer Here...
Beautiful Stuff!
People can take stuff out of your order if its in your cart???..... i know it was while supplies last but i had some stuff in my cart then kept browsing the bin and came back and my cart would "update" to zero but it said the quantitites were fine before... the longer i was browsing the more stuff that would get taken out of my cart... so i hurried and just placed my order of whatever was left in my cart

Same thing happened to me, they were running out fast.

I am experiencing that as well, I had over 10 packages in the cart then contiune to shop. By the time I am ready to check out, 6 packages disappeared this is so not kool!!! >
This is the first time I am using the inventory management system so I am sure there will be bugs to work out for next time. I got Bwell taken care of
ok guys, I was unaware this could happen, I apologize. This is the first real world "test" of the inventory management system, it worked good for everything else, but apparently not when there is a ton of people browsing. I am going to put up a twin pack sale and make it open ended for premier jigs and pro jigs but they will not be finished and will increase ship times, if you already placed an order you can go ahead and reorder what ever you missed out on and don't worry about the shipping, just select free shipping for orders over $50.
wow river rat, Thank you! thats awesome,Thanks again for the sale, this is awesome and i truly appreciate the efforts that go behind handcrafted lures/baits that are QUALITY AND stay competitive with the mass produced "junk". i have my own handcrafted business as well, its not jigs tho
keep up the good work 8-)
The pro and premier twin packs are up, they are at the bottom of the page, I am going to treat them like a back order so the rest of your order doesn't get delayed in shipping. So the rest of your order will ship like normal, and the out of stock twin packs will ship when they are complete.
These twin packs are only going to be up for today though, after today there shouldn't be as many "problems" cause the sale will slow down
Thanks for helping me out River, your an A+ guy in my book!
I had that this am too. I planned to fill up my cart past $50 with Wacky jigs at the end; but they started disappearing from my cart and I couldn't add more. Oh well. I'm happy with what I got; especially the Alimony color! Thanks again NorthStar.
Thanks for adding the twin packs for the folks who were at work when the sale kicked off.
Guess I should have paid closer attention to this, hadn't read to the point that there was a time/date announcement.
Oh well, I'll just have to pay full price.
You never have to pay full price, the 10% code is always valid, sale or no sale, there is also many sale items left in the bargain bin!
53 Dollars gone! How long does it usually take to receive the order? Jigs look great!
First time buyer! Thanks for the sale, Rat! Cant wait to try your pro jigs.

I would've been really bummed and probably not ordered anything if you hadn't done that. Thanks!
I just placed my second order!!! Thanks for such a great product!!
I'd like to know what people think of the Aurora Shad once they get they're hands on them.
QuoteI'd like to know what people think of the Aurora Shad once they get they're hands on them.
Is this a jig color or a plastic shad bait you are talking about? I have been out of the loop for awhile. LOL
We know...lol its the soft plastic cross tail shad bait.
I am pretty much guarantying a win on this one, I tested it all of last year and had great results, especially on smallies, but its a great ds bait all around.

I didn't see them! The loop is getting bigger! LOL
AM i lost or is the only payment option by paypal? :-/
Too bad I couldn't find any spinnerbaits in the bargain bin! Then again your spinnerbaits were a great deal to begin with so no biggie. I would've bought some jigs from there but decided to get some heads to tie myself since I've been experimenting with silicone and mylar (the flashabou stuff) strands.

That page pretty much explains your payment options, its all paypal but you do have the option to paying with a Credit or debit card without having a paypal account. You can also send a Money Order.
