Sloan Aggravator Short Arm -Where??

[Paul Roberts]

I can't find anyone who carries them. I've contacted the new owners but they are wholesale only.

Anybody point me in the right direction?

Short arm or long arm?

Single spin or double?

Looks like you'll need to email the company direct

I have to admit, when I first read the thread title, I thought "why doesn't he just google it?"  I was quite surprised when google didn't turn up anything.  Tons of middleman shopping wesites say they have it, and the link goes straight to bass pro, and the item is no longer available.  Bass and Duck has the product info and a pic, but you can't order it.  I'd call the company, and ask for the name of a dealer.

The short arm is the only way to go, and it only comes in a single colorado. I haven't found another spinnerbait like it. Short arm spinnerbaits are hard enough to find, much less narrowing down to just the Zorro and their proprietary design. FYI...the long arm Zorro spinners are much like every other spinnerbait made today, and don't give you the wire weedguard.

I'll go ahead and post the pic again....

One of the site advertizers has a similar spinnerbait-----

Just as effective

Short arm.

I'm aware of the other short arm baits -but none have the weedguard, which is important for a short arm  where I throw them -weeds and wood.

I have emailed the company. The site indicates they are in process of getting product out. I'll have to call 'em.

Thanks all.

Paul, I know what you mean with the weedguard. I have some Bass Buster Scorpion spinnerbaits with the brush weedguard. I also have a bunch of them including the Tarantula model without the weedguard and just bumping into a twig is an automatic hang-up. Sad day when production stopped on them.

AHHH the Zorro. What a good spinnerbait. *** has some that looked a lot like Zorros. I asked him if he got his parts from the same company. I found a website a few months ago and was interested in buying them in bulk. http://stansloanzorrobaitco.com/ see if that works. Well, looks like Rolo beat me to it.

I used them too, but lost my last a long while back. I have a vivid memory of my first "buzzed" bass (I now call "bulging") I was probably 14 and got permission to fish a private un-fished pond. I threw a Scorpion and "buzzed" it by an old pallet floating in the water -BAM! My Dad called me "Buzz" all that summer -I think hat's all I did, or needed that summer lol. Funny I don't "bulge" much anymore.

One more vivid memory (etched into my brain) -I was probably 10. I got bored not catching and tied a Mann's Woolly Bully (long arm) on (light spinning rod (6lb line, lol) and started aggressively ripping it up off bottom and letting it fall, rippin and falling, ... and came into a heavy weight! The head came out -it was the biggest bass head I'd ever seen! I got my Bully back, but that was all.

Now this I still do on occasion -hence one use for the Aggravator.

Worse comes to worse, I can modify a long arm, and whip (or heat shrink) in a weed guard.

Will call 'em anyway and see what's up.
