Mud Hole Custom Tackle at [www.fishinggearoutletshop.com] located in Howey In The Hills, FL
I ran across them looking for a Crafty's Cutter inletting tool. They have it ($39.99), but no one else seems to. I got a bit suspicious when I saw they have the Flex Coat power wrapper at $98.99 normally about $600. Other pwer wrapper tools at ridiculously low prices.

That's not the MudHole most are familiar with. I'd be cautious of any company using another company's name to obtain sales.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

That's not Mudhole. That's a scam site.

I’d say a scam site as well. A sure fire way to tell, how they want you to pay for your items. They will request you use Pay Pal “friends and family”. No buyer protection with that option. In most cases they do not have credit card payment options, again most CC companies have a fraud protection. It’s a way for the scammers to skirt the law and make it more difficult to track them down. There is a growing criminal element that has found a niche in scamming via sporting goods, they will set up a fake site, offer discounts or offer products that are on back order.

This stuff is rampant in the firearms/shooting sports industry also. I don’t know why, but most of the scam sites seem to be located in Florida.
