| Anyone got to toy around with these yet? Look extremely similar to Shadzillas. Any big reason to buy one over the other? |

| I'll only run the fat a.z swim baits I like the action the best and hooks are not free to foul up.

| Musky Innovations. I am not sure if they are even released yet. They look exactly like a Shadzilla. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience testing them, and if so, how are they different than a shadzilla. |

| Only reason I can think of is availability. Places like fleet farm and Scheels will carry MI but not shadzillas. I'm excited to get my hands on a couple of these |

| Have not had any issues with hooks fouling on leader. if you keep good tension with your thumb on spool while casting you shouldn't have any problems same with bulldawgs

| Interesting they come out the same time/year like the Pegasus and ripping dawg. The Chaos tackle one looks like it has a bigger paddle...I like...Wish one of these would be available this fall but guessing have to wait till the show to get one. |

Location: Des Plaines, IL | I was lucky enough to get to use Chaos bait on the Fox Chain in IL this year and in a half day we caught three over 40" and had 4 other follows. I thought the design was really well done, as I had very few fouls and it ran really consistently. The weight distribution allowed for a nice sink and good distance with the bait straightening easily when thumbing the spool at the end of the cast.
Unfortunately when I asked, it sounded like it wasn't going to be ready for prime time until show season rolls around. |

| Cool! Looks like there will be more than a few options for large paddle tails in the coming years, I wonder when the European stuff that has been out for years and years will start to make it over. |
