    Look like a killer for shure. Can’t wait to try them on some three way rigs. Might be just the ticket

    That “kick out” action is awesome.

    Oh boy, there goes a bunch of money for me again! Those things are a “must have” in my tackle box.

    While I think that most visual gimmicks are usually gimmicks, this looks to be something truly groundbreaking. Makes a lot of sense to anyone who has ever sight fished.

    That hunting motion is was makes for a better crankbait or any bait for that matter. Part of the difference to me from Bass Baits to Walleye baits is I believe the cranks that have more of a rolling action versus a hard side to side action.

    Wonder how they will run at trolling speeds 3 MPH plus. Many baits can run under 3 but not many over with out blowing out.

    Not the first shad bait to “kick out” on a retrieve. Hope they work better than the old Reef Runner 200-400 Rip Shads. Or at the very least not have to tune them on every fish or after they tick bottom!

    I’m very intrigured but I wonder how well these baits will work when trolled in current conditions or above 2.0mph+ on leadcore?

    Hoping someone can test this out and report back before I go on a spending spree and buy a bunch!

    Not good for pocket book. Looks like some great action. If they have these in the Husky Jerk, the fall trolling just got a lot more interesting.

    I just saw this same video and came to ask a question about them. The action looks good, but like others, I wonder how true they stay at 2+ mph.

    Looks to me this was designed as a casting rap, not a troller.

    That was my original thought as well.

    That Shad style Scatter Rap in the Bleak color they brought back is gonna be a killer in the flooded timber on Devils.

    My thoughs exactly, looks like you could put in some really nice cadences, but how much tuning is going to be needed to keep it from eventually doing barrel rolls? Out of the box? after each fish?

    What colors do you intend to order. I ordered baby bass, bluegill, Marci gras, Ikesmash.

    The Scatter Rap have a completely different swimming action than the Tots. Check out some of the underwater videos. I’ve never seen anything like that from a crankbait.
