Shell Bobbers Shark Tank Pitch
Jeff Stafford and Dusty Holloway are long-time hunting and fishing partners who found a new use for their shotgun shell waste as fishing bobbers. Shell Bobbers has a provisional patent and is currently made in Dusty's garage.
Jeff and Dusty have sold under $1k worth of Shell Bobbers through a test Ace Hardware store. Jeff hopes to sell in all Ace Hardware stores and other outlets. Jeff seeks to manufacture Shell Bobbers in a facility where hourly workers can stuff bobbers and have a larger production capacity.
Daymond jokes about an offer, Kevin makes an offer that the other sharks consider a joke, and Mark makes an offer that Jeff accepts. The other sharks are critical of Mark's deal for a "shell on a string," but Mark believes in Jeff and Dusty.

Jeff's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-stafford-a020a79 https://hnhsurvey.com/about shows him as Chief Marketing Officer of Darwin Automotive from 2017 on as of 2022. In 2022 Dusty/Dustin works as a surveyor for hnhsurvey.com Link Preview

The Fishing Ammo listings on Walmart and Amazon show as out of stock in 2022 so it appears as though 2017 was the last known availability of the product.
