BPS exclusive color that I can’t find!

[NavyVet1204]

 

So my boss at work is an avid bass fisherman and he and I were talking Texas rigs the other day and he mentioned a color exclusive to the BPS brand of plastics that I cannot find…crawberry. He said the last time he went to bps he bought the entire peg hook full of them and hasn’t seen them since. Well I can’t find them either. He said they were a huge producer for him and I’d like to try them out myself, but I can’t find them online or in store. Do they not make this color anymore? 
 

edit: I’ve asked employees in the store and I get everything from “sold out” to “I don’t think we carry them anymore” to “I’ve never heard of that color”.

Edit again!: with a little scouring on the BPS app I found the color in the stik-o-worms….not the craws…

When I worked at BPS, all of their soft plastics were made by a company in Eufala, AL. I may have misspelled Eufala, my apologies. The company is called Southern Plastics if I remember correctly. Might try them. I believe that Southern Plastics was started by Tom Mann, at least that's what I was told. 

 

Good luck

Whether you find them or not, make sure you don't outfish the boss.

He doesn’t prefer my method of success(shaky head) so I think we are good haha. He’s a jig and crank bait type of guy and if his stories are true, then he’s the next KVD.

Also in crawberry. 

 

For what it's worth the yamamoto 222 color is very similar.

Learned that the hard way when I played in a Gary Williams charity golf tournament in 2002. He tee'd off with everyone on the 10th hole and he goes first. Drives pretty well for a 50+ year old guy, about 230yards. I go up hit my 5 wood about 260 straight down the middle. Never got invited back again.

Creature. More precisely the craw. I did find the color in the stick-o worms and someone else pointed out the bug creature that the color was available in as well.

Man BPS makes some good colors in their plastics. Ive never used BPS plastics but between the river bug colors and my step dad used a roboworm style open pour worm that looked amazing and caught fish. He was using a 4" finesse style straight tail worm texas rigged and it caught as many as me using a wacky stick bait and jackhammer.

If your boss was any kind of a darn guy he’d give you a pack or two. Or at least 10 in a zip loc for you to try.
