Even some of the less obscure colors are going for 5.66.Price gouging at its finest.Right now I'm sitting on about 70 individual baits.I figure 140-180 fish worth.I'm not worried about running out yet lol. 1 Quote

IndianaFinesse Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Does anyone know wether the havoc line of pit bosses are no longer being made, or is the powerbait version just another option? Quote

In a week or two they will be worth a fortune. Amazing just a few months ago you could get any color you wanted on sale for less than $2 a pack. 1 Quote
S. Sass Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I just emailed Berkeley to get the scoop on what's up I'll post up what they say if I get a response. 2 Quote
long island basser Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I went to one of the four Dicksportingoods in my area this morning. They have plenty of both the 3 and 4 inch havoc pit boss in stock in many colors at the regular price of 2.99. There are none in the power bait section. Quote
Drew03cmc Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 They're still listed on the Berkley website under Havoc. 1 Quote

Lime/Purple Passion Bama Bug Watermelon Electric Blue Im sure I am missing some others but in the 4" version on Berkleys website these colors have disappeared. I did get the automated email saying they got mine. Guess it may be a day or two before I get a response. 1 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I meant the baits, not the colors. Sorry for the ambiguity of my statement. Quote

S. Sass Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 OK so I contacted Berkley and here is what I asked and what I just received. Quote Hey I have noticed a lack of certain colors in the Havoc Pit Boss line up. Lime Purple Passion and Sapphire Blue come to mind. What is the deal? Also quite a few of us are hearing rumors your going to slime our favorite baits with power bait snot. We really really like the bait as it was. Please please set the story straight. Quote Thank you for contacting Berkley. The Lime Purple Passion and Sapphire Blue are discontinued baits. You may find them on website www.ffo_tackle.com. As far as the bait adding “Power bait snot” we have not heard of this changes in our baits. Please visit our website at www.berkley-fishing.com for Havoc available baits for 2017. Berkley CSR SG I did send another in hopes of getting more information. Quote Well I didn't mean to offend with "snot" just its slimy to me and other anglers. There are many of us on fishing forums that are getting mixed information about the Havoc Pit Boss line and really are wanting to know what if any changes are coming to one of our favorite baits. Is there other colors that are being discontinued? So there are no plans to put the Havoc Pit Boss line into the Power Bait line up? Thank you for clarifying some of this. Awaiting a response back. 1 Quote

Yeah I felt the person responding was a secretary that really didn't know and really didn't investigate to much into what was going on. This is why I asked more. Thank you for the information I will make sure to address that conflict in another email. Quote
S. Sass Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 The last response just came and I feel this person is a foreigner with limited English skills or is purposely avoiding the Powerbait discussion. Quote Please visit our website for all of your Havoc baits which are available at the website below. Yes those (2) colors are discontinued. Thanks. Berkley CSR SG Yes that was the entire response.

blckshirt98 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 The Pit Boss seemed to have been their most popular/best seller in the Havoc line, I'm surprised they discontinued some of these colors. That being said I went around the internet last night and grabbed the discontinued colors I liked, hope they bring them back at some point. Until then I'll have to store these carefully in the "use sparingly" bin. Quote
S. Sass Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Found one package of 4" at Academy. Thanks to my daughter for hunting these down for me. Quote
