Location: Delavan, WI | ITS Been confirmed!!! BPS discontinue their shallow jntd 8" off shore lures- they will no longer be carrying these, anything similar on the market nowadays or any ideas where I can find these- I figure the manufacturer might still market them under a different name -any help is greatly appreciated - i have attached a pic
anybody who has 1 they want to trade- I have a few baits I would trade (please keep in mind these retailed for about $7, so I wouldn't be trading cowgirls or pounders for 1- color not important)

I bought one of those @Waukegan BPS a few years ago. It came apart on the cast the first time I tried using it. It had a nice price, but after coming apart I decided: Ya get what ya pay for !
IMHO....get a jointed Depth Raider instead. Or..Big Fork also makes a good, jointed, plastic diver with a "Cisco-Kid" style metal lip. Forgot its name. |

Location: Delavan, WI | I have about 2 dozen DR's and another 20 or so baby DR's -I was mainy looking for this same lure for a particular lake for pike fishing- so I'm not 2 concerned about the quality, my buddy landed over 2 dozen pike on 1 of these that I lent him with 40" the biggest in a couple days fishin- I told him he could keep the lure - at the time I did not realize they are not available anymore so Im lookin to replace it, but thanks anyways.

| what about a Rapala J13? |

| My first muskie came on one of these lures...and a couple more since (including this year). I really should throw it more often, but it does maintain a promenant place in my trolling lineup. Cheap is not the way I'd describe them...probably one of my toughest built lures. Try bass pro shops... |

Location: Delavan, WI | Guest- J 13 is not the size im lookin for - if you look at the ruler this bait is over 9" with the lip, the J 13 is barely even 6"
although I appreciate the help I am lookin for this EXACT size lure , not a smaller 1 that looks like it
Half Pint- if you read my post I already mentioned I have been to BPS and they no longer have it there, I also looked on their online catalog and its not on there- and just for kicks I called the headquarters with a part # today- my fears were confirmed- lure is discontinued in the BPS catalog in every color it was available and they will no longer sell them for reasons unknown so I guess Im SOL , unless I can find some people who are willing to sell/trade me theirs- color not important! |
