One word- sick. I saw the floating version at BWW in the test tank, and it is death. The bait kicks at a super super slow retrieve, slower than any bait I've seen kick. The dorsal fin sticks out of the water on the retrieve, and it has more of a subtle kick that looks like a trout cruising the surface. Very excellent looking bait, I highly recommend.

If you get there on the right day, haha, the first batch sold out pretty quick. Another order is on the way right now.

Thanks everyone for the heads up, tacklewarehouse's stock is going fast too.

Brian- did you get a chance to see any of the sinking models? The 12 or 16? I ordered a floater and a 12er, guess it will run in about 12ft of water. Thx-

Here I go again buying more baits....I need help :P

Trev-

No, the floating one was the only one left when I was in there last week. Let us know how the sinking one kicks, I'd imagine it'd be tough to get that super slow tail kick, but I think it will still have that cool cruising trout look to it.

Indeed that bait is death, just as Brian said. The floating bait on a super slop retreive, theres nothing like it. The sinking models should be killer also. We will have those in the shop soon, as well as a shipment of stocker trouts. Good fishing everyone.

Brian.

I got a chance to give my huddleston a test run today. To say to least I am very impressed!! It has the most realistic swimming action I have seen so far in bait. It looks just like a cruising trout. I got the 5 foot sinker, true to its lable it sinks about 5 feet on a slow retrieve.

I keep telling myself "this is the last rod/reel."

Thanks for the report. I got the -5 also. Haven't had a chance to test it. But after your report, my hopes are up. I was concerned about the action. I don't see how it possibly swims very well. But I bought it anyway. Does the head wobble? Or just a lil tail wiggle?

the head does go side to side just the right amount. It looks just like a real fish.
