Im not sure if they still do, but his baits used to have the email address "jerrinater1@aol.com" (or maybe "jerrinator1@aol.com"... something like that) on them, i believe. You could try that.

Im also really surprised about the 6" raptor. I have the 8" and the tail kick is as larger or larger than the hudd at all speeds. Ive never gotten a rago bait that didnt kick hard and run perfectly true right out of the package. You should exchange it wherever you got it as a defective bait...i'd bet you just got a bad bait.
