Wonder how many of these are going to fly off the shelves in the next few weeks? Seems like both KVD and Lane were throwing them.

Milky and I started fishing the Red Eye on Rayburn in '08 and found a 12-14 lb pattern chunking them in areas with both wood and grass; not a huge sack by Rayburn standards but it was good enough for a backup pattern if our frog bite disappeared. Last year Academy had them on sale for $3 a pop and I picked up about 30 of them.

Not a bad little bait for around $5.00, they do catch fish and you can launch these things a proverbial mile; plus they won't hurt the wallet much when you lose half a dozen over a weekend of fishing.

I was at Gander Mountain last week and they were $1.95. They had chrome/blue, sexy shad, chartreuse sexy shad. Either way I now have about 30 more than I did previously.

A heads up that they may still be on sale, but after the classic they may be picked through pretty good.
