We will have the new D8 and D10 bucktails out in about 10 weeks. Took me a little longer to find a good mylar manufacture to get me the skirt material I wanted. Changed a lot on the Dominatrix bucktails for the new ones. Should be some good improvements. And don't worry, I won't increase the prices on them D8 will still be $13.99 and the D10 will still be $14.99.
TI is discontinuing the big D13 bucktails though. Just not enough sales for them to warrant keeping them in stock. I am blowing them out right now for $9.99 each. Still have all 21 colors left in stock too: http://www.tackleindustries.com/northernpikelure.html

Best "selling" colors are:
1) black
2) black/gold
3) about anything gold and/or copper
4) IMO its 90% vibration and 10% color....colors sell customers, vibration catches fish

James- I am really excited about the blades packages. Do you know when you will have them for sale? Are you introducing new colors of skirts? I will have to set aside a few hundred dollars for that time.

esox69, They will not be real silver plated. That cost about $0.80/blade. The fake silver is just as bright too. I used to do real gold on my topwaters and I got a few wings and props with fake gold. LOL the fake gold was brighter...

FYI-While we will have all new Double 8 and double 10s coming out in 2015 we will still keep the same prices on them that we have had for the last 3 years.
LIQUIDATION on our Double 13 tails at $9.99 until they are out! Not too bad when some other brands are at $34.99. Just ran out of our first color 2 days ago so buy em up while you can!
Double 13: $9.99 http://www.tackleindustries.com/northernpikelure.html
