He has been around for a while but he never commercially released many baits... I believe he had one run on tackle warehouse. They are very high quality but for some reason he completely fell out of the game for the last couple years. Saw him at the bassathon and he's back in business as far as I can tell.
Saw mike brakebill and matt newman throwing the lunker punker in my backyard today, not quite the action like in their video at casitas but... I decided that that was such a bad idea considering that the fishing has been downright terrible lately and maybe they were onto something.
These arent much to show for it but they are swimbait fish at least, caught on an SBI brook trout punker at 2 in the afternoon on a 90 degree day...

Thats the closest thing i could think of that is still quality. Not gonna throw anything big but then again, you wont need anything big for small stream browns anyway.
White BA arm, Heavy floater. Used lightly. $170
Imakatsu confunazzy, new with extra fins and tail. $40
AB rat, Almost new. $75
Ill cover shipping on all baits.
So i realized today that i dont actually need 5 freestyle bass... So i am going to let go one go. Floater perch or a floater dark bass, new with rubberbands still on. I am only going to trade one depending on which has more interest.
Not interested in selling.
Baits im looking for would be:
white 6" fs trout floater
real deals plus cash on my end
any rare 3:16
nezumma rat
deps silent killer or slide swimmer
10" Light trout is the most versatile bait. It has a green back and a light belly which looks pretty much like any baitfish out there.
The 10" isnt as large as youd think for a 10" bait and it is pretty light too, and smaller fish will crush it as well. I also think the larger trouts swim better than the smaller ones.
The rago generic rat has caught me the most fish over the last year, and it has a great action and wake. The most realistic rat is the Bettencourt rodent which has natural hair and a very subtle swim, it does dive at a moderate rate though so it won't make a very good wake. The ab rat has a wider action and a walks nicely but it's pricey for what it is.
So it all comes down to what you prefer and when you plan on throwing it.
Got a barely used AB rat for trade. It is the natural brown color with a pink tail.
Looking for 6" bass punkers, 3:16's plus cash on my end, not baby wakes though, 10" TT, Deps slide swimmer or silent killer.
I'll add cash to sweeten any deals.
Maybe its not that far off... If you want to buy a double digit bass for stocking purposes it would cost you over $10,000 per fish!!!
