This is one of the pending releases that I saw on my trip to HQ, and I'm very excited about it... (it definitely hits the 'must have' status for me)... the next smaller (formerly largest) sized has been a staple for when I want less vibration than than the ripper, but more than a curly tail. The thump grub has a much different sound (and profile) than the ripper and has caught many a bass and walleye for me... now I'll be able to give a run for muskies with this style as well, and of course, this bigger version most definitely will be a player for the 'eyes and lippers here on the Miss as it does not overshoot the size to make itself muskie exclusive.
When I made the trip to HQ, they told me this would be a July release, but now that it is officially on the website, I'm looking to have this fella in use with the next few weeks.
