Yum Rad Shad changed about 2 years ago now that I think of it. More purple/pink. Doesn't work anymore either.

I may have caused some confusion in my original post. The worm on the right is the original color. They must have changed this long ago. You would not believe how much money this worm has won me. I have quite a few years of them left still. I must be sitting on a gold mine. I was only 4 years old in 1989 when the package in the picture were made. My Uncle taught me how to fish and gave me a lot of tackle and worms. He swore on his life about this worm and he was right. He must have bought out everything the stores had whenever they re-stocked this color. You can imagine how cheap they were back then.

I recently replenished some of my 6 and 7.5 Culprit Red Shad worms and found that they have changed the color at some point. I have tequila shad as well, so that clears up any confusion. "Red Shad" is now different. This new color does not work for me in the tournaments and my supply is dwindling. Does anybody know where I can find them? Some tackle websites have never updated the color on their websites. When I think I'm getting the old one, I get the new one. If you have newer package of these and think you have some old ones, take a look at the difference. I don't understand why they would mess with such a popular color. I'm starting to think the only place I'll find them is a small town tackle shop that hasn't had to order them in years.
