What Color Big Bite Baits Stick Worm Is This?

[McKinneyLonghorn]

Sorry to ask what seems like such an obvious question, but I am stumped. Purchased this package of baits at Academy. They have a lot of the Big Bite Baits lineup, including lots of colors of 5 inch trick sticks (in packs of 10). The problem is that this color is only available as a 5 pack (for half the price of the 10 pack), and the label on all the 5 packs is identical regardless of color (with no color listed). I went to several Academy stores, my local Cabela's, the Big Bite Baits website and several online tackle stores and can't find this color anywhere. It is close to Sexy Melon and Methiolate, but is not quite there. It is more of a peach/orange color with similar colored flakes, where Sexy Melon is more yellowish and Methiolate is more reddish. Thanks for bearing with me on the semi-odd question.

Methiolate.

Here's the deal with that : It's not methiolate OR any other color you would recognize ... Big Bite sells these in packs of five which are basically mistakes , one off's , an odd-color run , or something they perhaps made up as an experiment they tried for some pro angler . DSG's sells the same thing - most colors are aweful but occasionally you will find a gem in the stack if you look .

I caught a bunch of good bass early-mid spring on chart/laminate Trick Sticks. Then nothing.

 

When they were biting it, I doubt color mattered much.

Lipstick ?

I'd say red with some glitter in it. But that's just me.

Red.  you're welcome.

If its a knock off, why would you expect to find more of it or even think they would give it a actual color designation????  Not trolling but I'm sure they just chucked it in the bag and away they went!!!

Red silver flake or Red silver flash? Strawberry flash?

Ill bet they toss there over runs on the production line in a bag and off they go. Assorted=over runs

I hate it when they do this. Sometimes it's a discontinued color. It turns out to be a hot color. Mister twister did this with a strawberry silver flaked grub. I murdered the bass with only two more in the assorted bag. Nothing on there website.

Nailed it.  I just visited six Academy stores throughout San Antonio (sale shopping), and saw all kinds of colors in those Big Bite bargain bins.  You could actually tell that alot of them were mistakes.  And now sold for cheap.   I picked up some colors combos of crappie curly tails that I've never seen before, but I think will be good.  I fully understand that if they turn out to be good, I probably won't be able to find that color again.

To those of you who helped answer the question, thanks. I had some luck on this color the other night so I'll have to track down some other bags of it if possible before they disappear from the shelves.

they aren't mistakes, they are from where they switch colors during production runs and it takes several shots to get the old color out so it mixes with the new color. that's what it says on tackle warehouse

Good possibility that could be what's taking place here ...

This is why when I find a bait on the manufacturers list that works awesome I go home and buy as many as I can to have a stash. I see the mepps XD is being fazed out. They don't offer every color/size.

I haven't seen the GY senkos in red, red flake or the motor oil, black flake for sale online in 15+ years. Nor the bps stik o in Amber flake.

These colors were listed as out of stock now there's no listing at cabelas, bps. Over stocked bait had the gy red and the gy site had them. But not much in 6"/7" just 5".

That MT grab bag with the strawberry glitter 2" grub is a killer.

I seen Lurenet offer mistakes in the mini size bomber cranks. I jumped on a few. The colors were off. It's like buying a mistake lotto ticket we might get lucky.

That sounds like a strong possibility. Thanks.
