Can someone tell me for sure that you can still get mants or did the stop making them!!1 Whats the deal? Just wanting to know if this is a rumor!!
Thanks

I just called Rolliie and Helens and they are out and so is Thorne Bros? Wondering if they went out of busniess or did they sell it?

Thanks, I did a little research and find a store that haves around 60 to 80 of them minus the six I bought thats not to for from my house!! I guess i should of ddi my research first instead of asking a stupid question on here!!! Thanks Anyway

Have heard many different versions of the story. But the bottom line is that no one can get in touch with the River Run guys to find out for certain what the deal is. So for the time being, if you can find some Manta's on the shelves, that is what is out there. I hope River Run gets going and keeps producing these baits as i love them!

I dunno, I haven't been able to find any for a while now either, and I'm looking for two to replace lost baits. Wish I could find em...

Jackson Lures is out, too. On Tom Dietz's website, he has a post where he has some for sale, even by mailorder, at his Dayton area Gander Mountain shop, including some hang 10's if I'm not mistaken. On the musky hunter swap site, there are some for sale too I think. m

The Family Peck (who own River Run) have real jobs, other than running their tackle company. They are nice folks, who produce a great line of baits, who also have had alot on their plate, lately. With the sale of their lip business, they probably have more time to catch back up. Give them time. They will be back, with a vengance.

Returning calls from longtime dealers would be a start towards re-establishing confidence that they will "be back with a vengance".
