Ethanm Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I've been seeing a lot of thumper tails for sale in the black market as well as other sites, are they not performing as expected? Is there something else about them that people aren't liking? I've been considering getting one and trying it out, I'd really appreciate anyone's feedback before I make a purchase. Thanks!

IsaacM619 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Its funny how they are suddenly at retail, remember the flippers that were trying to get $100 plus for them after bassathon? Same with the Hinkle, a bunch of people got their Hinkle orders and are flipping strong. Darth Baiter and evilcatfish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethanm Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yes I do remember that, I guess that's why I'm so confused because there was all this hype and then boom, they're online like crazy for like $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think people got a ton to try and flip, kind of like what Isaac said, but they are realizing now that they are available and they don't have need for those extras they got as "short term investments"/flips, they want the cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealandhunter Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think it looks good in the water. My personal opinion is that people just bought too many when they first came out haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asavamedhi Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 It's a solid bait. Although I've only caught 1 fish, I think it looks good. Only thing I had to do was add a stinger hook. I use to collect jordans until everyone started buying them up and flipping them for double. It's ridiculous and it prevents the people who really want the shoes from buying them. Same concept here. try it out. Esmin23, Ktho and Rod Wynn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassing305 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 two words.... "over hyped" Well said! Most swimbaits are overhyped anyways,even if they work well for catching big bass. Lots of baits catch big bass and they are under $50. swole_t and CameronCreamerFishing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timcauliffe Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I liked it, but just wasn't my favorite style of bait. Rod Wynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I personally think people are under hyping the bait, its a bait that fills a niche that previously was hard to fill. the bait is a hard thumping, fast moving bait, thats what it was designed for. Its a bait to pull out when those fish are hot on baits that move a lot of water. Instead of having to throw a hard bait now you have a soft bait option. Now all of this would be useless if the price was set too high.. but surprise they are almost the same price as a hudd. IDK, this is my opinion. Its not an every day bait but its a good option.

Rod Wynn Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 how many fish have you caught on them mr expert? Also if you have thrown it you would know for yourself what I am saying is accurate.. Hence the post by Moleman, he said the same exact thing and did you come for him?
