Any idea what is up with this baits delayed release? Has to be a good 6 months late now? Pretty sure same thing happened with the Titan a few years ago too!

Then it came out and they all malfunctioned because wouldn’t dry out and quit chirping. I have 4 because 2 were replaced with a new batch.

Wouldn’t mind trying one but delay has me thinking there must be more manufacturing issues and maybe I shouldn’t waste my money….. just stick with proven red October tubes

Curious if they will be at any of the shows this winter

Wanted to bump this to see if anyone else has tried these. I didn’t learn my lesson with the Titan and fell for the hype. Bought 4 and all of them pull really hard to the left or right. Tried with and without blades, tried tweaking all of the hangers, tried drilling in more weight and nothing would make them run well. Not darting and hanging like they were advertised, just run like something is crooked in them. Mostly bought them because they said there would be a swimbait tail available a few weeks after launch, really liked the idea of a half hard swimbait. 9-10 months later and still no word about the swimbait tail. I love the Livingston jerkmaster and the flipper but really not impressed with that company lately. Anyone else have any experience with them? Feels like I got ripped off

Why not buy a bait that’s made in the US or CAN instead?
