Title: 4" Birch Bug Available This Week...
Post by: Jason on 10/24/10 16:00 UTC

The Birch Bug is finally ready for release.  We've worked really hard to get the action on this bait perfect.  As you can tell by looking at it, it really has a lot going for it.  We are going to release 2 versions this week: the 4" ribbed and 4" non ribbed versions.  They are identical except one has ribs.  We are releasing the non ribbed version because it is less expensive (way less machine time).

I would like to release a 3.5" version of both, as well as a paddle tail in all 4 versions - let me know what you think about this.

I am optimizing the machining to get a final price.  Expect them to be available by Wednesday.

Look forward to holding one in my hand, both ribbed and non-ribbed.

The Birch Bug is on the site now.  Sorry for the one day delay.  This is an awesome bait.  Let me know what you think once you get it wet!

Here are a couple fish that I caught last night just off the shore on the samples from the Birch Bug (Blue Crayfish).  I was using it as a trailer on a jig that we will introduce in the near future.

My wife caught this one Texas Rigged.  She likes to fish but won't touch them.  I'm just glad she enjoys going out.  Pretty cool to fish with your best friend / wife!
