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.

Says the link is too large. Saric has it on his FB and Twitter pages.

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

Ive been using them the last couple weeks. I like them a lot they have great action and are very good hookers most hooked on that hook by the head.
cant wait to use more this fall. they have a killer wobble coming threw the water

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.

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.
