zenbasser Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 seems deps will be using ABS resin for the body, changing skin type, colors, etc and adding a new "feature"...not sure when these will be released or if this version will be replacing the existing type? some screen grabs: http://imageshack.com/a/img163/5563/1y3f.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img824/7149/wj9a.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img716/721/agt5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesofthejungle Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I wonder how durable the new plastic will be. The vibration thing is pretty interesting when you think about it vibrating on strikes. It could get the bass to commit more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ltrain Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 A few main points that Mr. Okumura mentioned about the advantage of the clear plastic is that he can be more flexible with colors and patterns. He mentions that with the clear injected plastic, he can now do ghost colors (for you clear water guys) and also he can paint or insert foil inside the body mainly because of how the foil in the current models fades and gets dirty. He also mentions since you have a hollow interior plastic he can now do things like adding the spring weight ball. (This is a feature that is already being used in one of the Deps shallow crankbaits the "Bell knocker"). One thing to note. He never says if this is better than the old/current model. All he says is the benefits of new model. I guess the Fish will tell us what they like and don't like sooner or later. Hopefully these babies will get in the hands of all you people that fish (or have already been fishing them... ) and you can share us your findings. As for the new Bullshooter 160. Its a new "medium" size that he was asked to produce. One main that feature I was able to get out of his talk was the angle of the pectoral fins. The new 160 size have a sharper down angle vs the flat pectoral fins of the original Bullshooter and the Bull jr. Mr Okumura says this helps keep fish from gaining leverage of the hook on the fins and popping off. Bonus info.... For you Jointed Claw fans... Gancraft has a new version of its Jointed Claw called the "prospero"??? I couldn't sound out the translation right? Main feature here is they molded a little anal fin near the rear hook eye and also slightly changed the shape of the mouth. This helps it swim just subsurface better. (Just in the 20cm higher range of the water column) He mentions something else about the swimming pattern which the bass are able to attack it better but that was sorta lost in translation. not sure if that mean it swims tighter or wider. Hope this helps... I can already feel the dollar bills falling out of my pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
