I just recently bought a TT and a punker from TW. I have had issues with the punker (another thread on here started by someone else) floating sideways, so I'm going to contact TW and see what they say. But, before I do that I also have a question concerning the TT I received. It's the blue trout color and looks really good, but on the top of the bait there is some hazing nears the joints. The majority of the middle section has this haze (its a ten inch if that matters). This hazing sort of looks like the steam on your mirror once you take a shower. When I first got it out of the package I tried to wipe it off. But it won't just wipe off. So is this a clear coat problem? Just an issue with the paint? And the biggest question is this something I should be worried about? If I end up sending the punker back, I might as well send this back at the same time if it is a big issue. Just new to big baits and expect quality for the price, but can understand small/inconsequential defects. And as a thanks for reading this, I'll share that I bought these baits because I let a MS slammer fly out of my boat two weekends ago. You read right, fly out of the boat. Was in a hurry in the morning and had left it just sitting out and took off down the lake and couldn't find it an hour later. First swimbait fish came on that bait. But soothed my heartache by buying another, and a TT/punker.

I almost made this exact thread. I got a brand new 8 inch punker from TW just this past Friday. It seems to walk ok to me, but since its my first one I'm not really sure what the 'right walk' is. It definitely tilts to one side when it is sitting still. Can anyone verify they should sit straight up and down when not moving? It seems to make the most sense but I'm still new to this

Thanks for doing this.

Great fish. And looks even bigger than that.

This is awesome, thanks. Hopefully will have time to fish this weekend. Than I just gotta hope I catch a good one. Its been a not so rewarding obsession so far but I knew that going in. Big learning curve and this website has helped me a lot.

these are awesome, great job

Great fish.
