My buddy was wanting me to get him some rattle baits for the upcoming Guntersville trip so I figured I would get him some Red Eye Shad since they're a little cheaper than XCaliber One Knockers. Every single peg was empty, not just the popular colors but every color was gone. Amazing what KVD can do for lure sales. All they needed to do was stock some of the extra short #2 triple grips next to the red eye shads and they could have sold a bunch of hooks as well.
Yes very true about the red eyed shad. Honestly i've fished this lure the last 2 years alot! Knowing that it won the classic everybody and their mom has to have one.....i guess it's the nature of the beast. However my only complaint is Strike King makes junk lures!! The paint will come off that red eyed shad after 2 or 3 days of fishing. I went through prob 12 last year alone. I switched to something else cause i couldnt afford to keep buying them, also all of their crankbaits never run straight. I love their designs but the quality is garbage.....IMO
