I have the 3” cnc ripper as well as the 3.5 es ripper and plan on getting the 3” es ripper as soon as it is available (saw the icast 2018 post elsewhere on the forums, super excited about that one). I absolutely love the action of the rippers, but for a lot of the fishing I do a 2.5 to 2.75” bait with a bit less bulk gets a lot more bites and doesn’t miss on many big fish either.
Is there any update on the 2.5” ripper? I would buy a couple of them (assuming they are 1 cavity) as soon as they are available!
