I got mine today from fishin fools, the last 8 inch but they also have the 12 and the smaller one, not sure what size, but mine was 20 bucks. anyway, i hope mine does not rip but the joints do look VERY thin and that they can rip. however, the paint job is no where near as realistic as my hudds. its also really light so maybe thats also a pro when it comes to landing fish.
