I just ordered from ja-da as well. the product is good and was by far the best deal on the net. 6 bucks for 250 if ordering 2000. spike 6.50 if ordering 3000. we will be ordering again.
You think that’s bad? I bought something on Cyber Monday thing that I as getting this great deal. Get to the end of the order and they want $19 for shipping and handling. It damn near doubled my cost and mind you, this isn’t a special delivery option. Standard delivery.
I’m not the closest to any good bait supply, so $10 for shipping saves gas/time, plus ensures that what I get is of good quality. Not sure where you ordered from but Vados gets my nod.
Understood though, that depending on how much you use it might be cheaper to buy the small tins.
I’ve always ordered from JADA and have never had a problem. Don’t understand why guys push knutsons and vados so hard when you can get the same quality bait for much less at JADA. All of the spikes I have bought from them have been very plump and stayed alive for months after ice season. The one year I was using up the last of my ice supply in July! Lost maybe 15 to pupation out of 2000. Best part is they usually come SPEE-DEE and I get them the next or following business day from when I place my order.
Vados is awesome. I’ve gotten my Euro’s from them for the last 4 years but now that I’m outside of the Midwest it would have costs 20 bucks to send them ground. And we need to provide 3 days and with their shipment not there yet, Thanksgiving, I still wouldn’t have gotten them until next week so I went with another option, CritterGrub, this year. Vados is awesome for MN/WI/IA though!
I still don’t understand why it is cheaper to order from Vados than it is to pick them up in store… With shipping included, it is cheaper for me to buy 2000 online than it is for me to go in store and purchase them. Needless to say, after years of doing business through Vados, I will be looking elsewhere next time.
Wish it cost $10.50 shipping to Kansas. Add another $9.00 to it. I don’t have a bait dealer anywhere close that sells spikes.That’s why I order from Vados. Always in great shape.
