Need some help- Berkley Brody swordtail swimbait

[-ebby-]

I just bought this berkley pro classic swimbait that i have never seen or heard of it looks really nice but i haven't used it yet. The problem is it is from japan i think and i can't read any of the package. Usually not a problem but this came with about four clear soft plastic sticks and i don't know what they are for! if anyone has used these or knows about them could you help? or if someone could translate the little sticker pointing to them that would be a big help to! it is a very nice swimbait and was a good deal and i don't have my camera right now so i can't put up any pics until tomorrow.

My man, those soft plastic sticks are for making the bait weedless.  

Pass the stick through the split ring and then stick one of the treble hooks inside the bait, one end of the stick goes on each of the remaining exposed hooks, now it 's weedless.

thank you! i thought that might be what they were for, have you used this swimbait? is it any good? i have never seen or heard of it before and couldn't pass it up

[Raul]

The reason why you 've never seen it anywhere in the US is because it is a Berkley JDM bait. I have one pretty beat up, unlike many other swimbaits where most of the action is in the tail in this one the bait wobbles like a crankbait. I got mine at e-bay a couple of years ago just to find out they are quite hard to find.

dang i probably should have bought both of them then!

[Raul]

Better hurry up and get the other one that was left.

Its a bit of a drive to that store and i probably won't be back there for a while but i think that store has a good chance of getting more, how much do those sell for on ebay? i might have to buy them out next time i go there and sell them right away

[Raul]

I wouldn 't bet on the store getting more, it 's been months since I 've seen one for sale in e-bay.

If any store would get more it would be this one.
