Erik Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just saw this on Tackle Warehouse's product request forum: http://talk.tacklewarehouse.com/showthread.php?t=4118 In regards to the injected 250s, Our buyers talked to Deps about the availability. They have decided to discontinue them for now and are unsure if they will continue with the injected model. We try to avoid promising customers availability on product without a definite confirmation and shipping date. Thanks, TW Staff Anyone else have any information on this?

swimbaits_only Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Maybe deps is having issues with the new "adjustability" system with the new injected models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River_Pirate Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 This is very confusing indeed. All the hype about a new bait with new features, spitting out a small amount of the new smaller baits to a few select places to drive up the hype, make a couple of hundred of the older baits out of the blue and released to one man. If the old bait was not cost effective or too difficult to make and the new one has been discontinued then...we have all that there is? I hope this gets cleared up! Great company with a lot of great baits, hope they sort this out in a good way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterik216 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I am pretty sure it was plenty cost effective any more. I think the price for a 250 originally was like $60. Everyone went nuts over them and now they are killing it. I mean ish the new 175 MSRP is $99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I hope you are not talking about the 250 because I remember when the highest a 250 SK would go was a $100, maybe a couple of bucks over from Japan.. Once the videos from Butch started to be released is when the price jumped up drastically. All good things come too an end people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil_watson Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 i am talking about the SS, not the SK, but i may be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 They used to be very cheap. I got my first one for 75 bucks from Japan. Lol, I thought that was high at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattlures Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I have no idea if this is what's happening with Deps but,... Speaking from experience. Sometimes you have a bait all dialed in and you "know" you will have no problems making a larger or smaller version. Then once you do, some issue reveals itself that wasn't an issue before. I am sure the Deps guys can figure it out, whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Optimum Baits is the US distributor for Deps. I emailed them to ask for clarification of the situation and I'll pass along any info they provide. I spent my career in plastic manufacturing and even with lots of preparation we as times experienced production "scale-up issues" that you did not experience with the smaller development runs. As Matt said, this may be the case and I would agree with him that Deps is a very reputable company with great R&D resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcolo4sho Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 This is probably one of the reasons deps won't have a booth at bassathon this year. That would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
