Read the "plastics" thread on the Main Board where Fishing Magician mentioned that WHAM plastics are still available...

Where?

Thanks,

Bill

Many places have the small ones, the only place I know of with the big one is where I work. We have Black with orange/flake belly and blue with pearl belly. The black and orange are good for Halibut, but I've never had luck with the other. We also have some different small ones. We are in Dana Point, so if you are ever going to be around the area drop me an email and I'll give you directions.

I've seen the big ones at Boss Bait and Tackle, a tackle chain in San Diego. I went to the one off the 78 in Vista.

Also, the Jig Stop in Dana Point has Wham baits. I don't know how their supply is on the big ones, but they've got Wham baits.

Best Fishes,

Well, sort of. I found a place in FL that had some left. Got 75 of them and have some more backordered. The last I heard, the manufacturer actually did go out of business. However, this company in FL is in the process of making their own molds. I guess they have something like 30,000 baits on backorder. Hopefully they'll get the ball rolling and turn out some baits. Check out www.floridaysfishing.com. That's where I got 'em.

Tight lines,
Adam

Wham lures are still available but through Worm King. The company making the original Wham lure did go out of business but by default...their building burned down. Worm King got a hold of the molds and continued making the Wham lure. Go tell your local tackle shop if they dont have them yet.

Sorry, but those aren't Whams.They are Blams, they are a knock off. Look at a real Wham, then the Blam. The fins are way too thick, the plastic is stiffer, and the colors are crap. They might work sometimes, but they won't keep up w/ the real deal. Rumors abound about just what happened, but one thing is for sure the W.K. ripoffs are not Whams. I'm just glad I still have a small stockpile left.

Ed definetly has the inside edge on the Whams, I was stoked to see they have tons of the good ones at Billy's Big Game in DP-
