BassYakin Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Interesting new wake bait just got posted on Tackle Warehouse. The lip reminds me of a Deps buzzjet. Price tag seems pretty steep to me though https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/River2Sea_Tactical_Wake_210_Wake_Bait/descpage-R2STW.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchris Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 You can thank Matt and Tim for the price increase, sure they’re getting paid well from r2s Plus that packaging is way over the top for a plastic bait. doesn’t look like a bad bait overall, time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Yikes! $75 for a bait with the quality of an Swaver lol. Who’s going first? BASS_SWINGER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoatSquirrel Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 I am very tempted to give it a try but how much of the $75 is the wooden casket? WHY? BassYakin and DrewManFishing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewski Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 They said in the video they posted original retail was gonna be 120+ …. Was supposed to be released years ago but didn’t want that price tag on it. Somehow got it down to the 75 bucks recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer_518 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I don’t think the price tag is too high. After all the R&D, designing. These guys know what they are doing and they have a huge following obviously. As for the packaging it’s probably a few bucks for the box but it’s cool and appealing in my opinion. There are other plastic baits out there that are way more money but yeah they are proven baits but still plastic… Jean-Luc, Kole4177, Brazil88 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the glide bait but I think this bait is easy for a beginner swimbait fishermen to get acclimated with. Just Chuck and wind, walk.

kondan Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 This bait was purposely made for their following. They’re not going to make a $300 bait for SU members lol. DotyBass, Kole4177, SoCalBassBum and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 I am glad to see they are trying to get paid. They have by far the best learning content on utube. chevro1et, Morph808, Jean-Luc and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil88 Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I bought 2 of them and I fished the tactical trout so far and I’m pleased with it. 75 bucks isn’t much any more, especially these days. I thought the packaging was pretty neat but the bait over all swims good and takes a beating pretty well . I fished it at night and hit multiple rocks casting shallow and it’s not even phased. I did catch a few fish on it, no giants but it has the potential. Milkman76, Jean-Luc, 168 Rookie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdpettit Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Mayb a little high, but its actually really good. Paint seems good, walks, swims fast and slow. Hooks seem a little big, but overall, I'm pleased with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
