LApanic Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Reading the "Day On the Lake" in this months Bassmaster, and saw Jason Christie was fishing a bait called the Booyah Boss Pop... Maybe a reincarnation of the Zell Pop? I'm guessing that the Xcalibur line of lures is pulling less cash then when first introduced, so they are probably going to re brand and re price the same baits to pull more $$$$ From an ad on the Bassblaster Daily email. If you click the image it takes you to booyahbaits.com but the literally have 5 lures that they've had forever on the site...thats all. iCast leaks, coverage will tell all! Quote
LApanic Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Here's the leaks/info, just found some...from the bassblaster again! 1. BOOYAH adds Knockers. > Formerly known as the XCalibur One Knocker and Rattle Bait, these two lures received a makeover prior to joining the BOOYAH family…. > The One Knocker is the proven XCalibur bait with a new look. It features a single tungsten rattle in a sound-intensifying chamber. …the “thump” of the single tungsten rattle allows the One Knocker to stand out and above the rest. > The Hard Knocker…updated with incredible color patterns. The bait still produces like it did, only better. > New color patterns were designed by some of the best anglers in the world, including Terry Scroggins, Jason Christie and Alton Jones. Both [baits] are available in three sizes (1/4-, 1/2-, and 3/4-oz) and eight color patterns. Boss Pop The new Boss Pop has an egg-shaped face that’s less deep than other chuggers to allow it to skitter across the surface like a panicked baitfish but still chug and spit. Available in two sizes, 2-5/16″ (1/4-oz) and 2-3/4″ (3/8-oz) and eight colors. Quote
dumfish Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I love the xcalibur lipless cranks, bought them in bulk in colors: rayburn red and royal red from DSG a few years ago on sale, I still have three or four in each color. Maybe I'll sell them on ebay, no way, there to valuable. Quote
Primus Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I'm glad I stocked up on the 1 oz Xcalibur One Knockers a couple of years back as I see that 3/4 oz is the heaviest that they now offer . Quote
LApanic Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 I think the durability, sizes and fishablity is what set Xcalibur rattle baits high in a lot of people's lists. Same way with the zell pop, the little things, like the subtle chartreuse belly with just enough sparkle/glitter just in the belly area. That's just good stuff IMHO. My biggest concern is that pradco is restructuring baits/brands as a race to the bottom to turn better profits. I know "new to the market" baits and color variations keep us fisherman hungry to try the latest, so that's another reason for restructuring to boost marketing and sales....BUT I think that off all the reasons I choice Xcalibur over red eyes aruku, 6th sense ****** or Yozuri Vibe rattle baits....a couple will be non exsistent with Booyah branding because of cost cutting (durability and colors mainly) Having 3 sizes is def a plus considering the alot of the alternatives have either just 1/2 or 5/8s. Here's my thoughts on XCALIBUR RAYBURN RED... 1st, the color "Rayburn Red" is also used on a Rat-L-Trap and a CC Super Spot, yet all three patterns are no where close to being the same. 2nd, It'd be crazy to think that Pradco/Booyah isn't going to release a simliar or close variant of Rayburn Red. There will be a craw for sure and they'd have to be under a rock not to see that that pattern is probably one of there best sellers if not THE best seller and the recent spike of $20+ for a Rayburn Red One Knocker is a dead giveaway to match as close as possible. Lastly, to sum up it all up, IMHO...the Rayburn Red "pattern" is probably not going away, just the name. Quote
BASS302 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Go to www.lurenet.com to see the colors. The Booyah colors for the One Knocker are different from the Xcalibur ones. Xcalibur had Ghost and Pearl Melon that worked really well for me. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 11, 2015 lurenet shows the Booyah Hard Knocker and One Knocker going to be made in Rayburn Red 1 Quote
LApanic Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 lurenet shows the Booyah Hard Knocker and One Knocker going to be made in Rayburn Red Yep, Yep! "I knew it, I knew it" ~takahiro omori lol The inflated price of online Xclaibur Rayburn Red One-knockers in going down by the minute. It's funny how, it starts as "RAYBURN IS GONE...FOREVER" and the demand shoots through the roof, and bam, nothing changes but the label that Pradco puts on the box. Quote
