06/16 UPDATE: We've updated the choice for shipping insurance in your cart. There is now a drop down menu for your choice. See Shipping Insurance page for more info. USPS Ground Advantage is still the worst. Multiple broken rods and "lost" packages. Long packages (ove 30 inches) taking 6+ weeks in some cases and normal packages taking several days longer than normal. Our local postmaster has told us it's only going to get worse before it gets better which is not a good sign! If you choose USPS and we can send it FedEx for what was paid we are switching your shipping to FedEx. We always recommend FedEx. We get no more info than you within the USPS tracking system. Contact your local USPS Postmaster and they can place an internal trace that may give you more info and/or get the package moving. Unless you request additional insurance, packages are only insured for $100. If your package is delayed there is a "Missing Mail" on their website. To be 100% clear, once a package leaves our dock it is 100% control of the shipper.
The Basix Baiting Needle can be used with most baits, as it is sharp and strong, meaning that it can be pushed through most harder baits without fear of splitting them. The ‘crook’ on the end has been designed to hold your hair in place whilst the bait is threaded onto it, off of the needle, but without danger of it fraying braided materials or causing them to separate, which can make it hard to insert a hair stop.
The bright green handle has been ergonomically designed, and should you drop it on the ground makes it easier to find. The chrome plated needle has been designed to last and won’t rust.
