Rage Tail Shellcrackers being discontinued?

[fishwizzard]

I have been noticing that these plastics have been going out of stock at a lot of places and not coming back.  Does anyone know if they are being discontinued or something like that? 

 

I like the them for a few different presentations and want to stock up if they are going way.

They offer four colors when the baits used to be offered in eight or ten.  Most other retialers also have limited colors and, for the ones that show it, limited inventory.

TW has the latest colors, including the KVD Magic.

Yea, they have the same four that most places have, plus the KVD Magic.  I really liked some of the lighter green translucent ones they used to sell.  The "Honey Candy" color seemed to work especially well on a big swim bait hook.

What stores have stocked is what's left. Discontinued.

We still have some KVD available.

Honestly kind of a redundant product for them now anyway

I disagree.  The shellcrackers were a dead match to small, thin-bodied panfish.  They have such a subtle glide to them when rigged on a lightly weighted swimbait hook and give amazing hooksets.  They also skip like a dream and are very durable.  

 

I am gonna buy up maybe a hundred of them, that should last me a good long while.
