That bait doesn't look too bad but there is no way that they can say that lure isn't molded from a Hudd. The only thing that is different is the tail. It looks like they just shoved a Hudd in a mold and then worked on the tail to make it their own. The mouth and fins are identical. I think i'm sticking with the Hudd. Jake J

Guys,
Just a few quick comments.
The tail is a VersaTailTM (modified boot tail). The reason the tail is not a wedge tail is because a wedge tail is in violation of Stanley Jigs patent. Several companies have found out the hard way that you cannot violate patents without the patent owner eventually putting you out of business. When a company spends tens of thousands of dollars to protect their proprietary ideas, you can expect they will be madder than a hornet when someone abuses that ownership right. Also, fish the bait and see what happens. The tail is designed to catch fish, and if you throw the bait you will agree.
The eyes are glued on this bait. This is a problem that is now fixed as the eyes now mechanically fit into the bait. In other words, they cannot come out. In the event that you buy one of the original baits and the eyes come out, just email Reaction Strike and they will send you replacements at their expense. Also, a drop of superglue fixes this problem completely.
As for the paint thinner smell, just leave the bait outside of it's clamshell for a couple days (or open the clamshell) and that smell will completely disappear. All baits that are painted stink of paint thinner. It is just that these baits have been selling so fast that they are very new, and they ship in airtight bags which does not allow them to breathe. If you have ever painted a room in your house you know how bad the stink is initially, but after a couple days it is almost totally gone. Same is true on these lures.
Finally, the reason the bait costs $19.99 is because $40 is a complete and almost laughable ripoff to fishermen. Check out the rest of our swimbaits on www.reactionstrike.com. Most of our swimbaits sell from $5 - $15. Lack of supply is why some baits are very expensive. While that might be a clever way to make a lot of money, we don't play that game.
Finally, the 6 inch Bass Harasser will be available as of Nov. 30. Look soon for it's big brother, the big ten incher coming in mid December. After that, well, we'll have a 4", 5", 7" and 9". All will come with our proprietary "taxidermy" paint jobs. If you want one of the first 6 inchers or ten inchers, email us and we will hold one for you.
We set out initially to make an 8" trout replica bait. Of course trout replica baits will look similar because if you are going to make a trout bait, then it will look like a trout. If you look closely, you will see that we have done everything possible to replicate a trout, down to the scales and anatomically correct fin sizes. We overengineered the wire harness to handle big stripers and muskies, and included a flexi wire stinger hook attachment and frog hook harness on the belly. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the design.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions for improvement, email us at reactionstrike@hotmail.com. We constantly strive to bring trophy fishermen the best possible products, and you will surely see additional tweaks made to this bait in the months to come.
Over 30 dealers now carry these, with many more coming on board in the next week, so hopefully you will be able to find them near you.

Levi,
I sent out I believe 7 free baits. What is really strange is you and one other person emailed me saying they did not arrive. I know everyone else received their baits as they have either posted or emailed me. Don't know what is up with that.
Shoot me your mailing address again at richardquade@hotmail.com
This is getting more expensive than I anticipated as originally I planned on giving away 5 baits. I've already mailed 7 at this point. If you want to buy one, get one free, that would be better for me. I could get you pretty much any color/sink rate you want and that way you could get some versatility. The MSRP is $19.99, but I know some retailers are selling them for as much as $25. $19.99 would be fine for the two for one deal, plus throw in a couple bucks for shipping. I've got 3 versions of rainbow, 3 versions of hitch, brown trout, brook trout, and some off the wall colors like firetiger, Orange and black, etc.
Anyway, I hope $10 each for two baits is acceptable to you.
Let me know, Reaction Strike

A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the >design. WHAT A F#*@%IN JOKE!! OF COURSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHARGE ALOT FOR YOUR BAITS- YOU AREN'T PAYING FOR THE R&D WORK!!!!!!! TRY DOING SOMETHING ORIGINAL LIKE HUDDLESTON AND OTHERS AND I'LL BET THE PRICE GOES UP! Yes, alot of blood, sweat and tears went in to that bait- but it wasn't yours! If you thought that was tough, imagine how hard it was for Ken Huddleston- who started from scratch?!! When you were molding the Huddleston, did you ever think to yourself- "this is wrong, this is America- where we have pride"?? It would be one thing to come on here and admit like a man that you molded the Hudd, botched the paint job but added an eyelet for a trap hook, and are selling it cheaper, but to actually insult the original bait maker for charging too much after you ripped him off is just, just.....I'm speechless. Unbelievable. Dave Smith swimbait@comcast.net

Guys,
Thanks for all the constructive comments, both favorable and unfavorable. We continue to make our baits better and better.
Here are a couple things you might want to know:
First, available right now are the 8 inchers in 3 trout patterns, 3 hitch patterns, brown trout, brook trout, firetiger, orange firetiger, green shiner and night shiner. These can all be viewed at www.reactionstrike.com. Click on California Classics. All these come in slow, medium and fast fall rates.
We now have 6 inchers in Hitch and Rainbow Trout.
On January 15th, we will be unveiling a 7 incher in hitch and trout.
On January 15th, we will start selling 3 packs of 4 inch bass harassers.
On or about January 15th, the 8 incher will be available in a floating/waking version. This is going to blow you guys away when you see it in the water.
Also, on or about January 15th, we will have the 8 inchers in a suspending version (we will call it ultra slow sink).
We are also coming out with a 4th trout pattern which will be virtually identical to what you have been asking for.
We are in 65 storefronts right now. We continue to add about 15 a week.
You can find our stuff at: Hi's Limit Out Bait and Tackle Clear Lake Bait and Tackle Tackle Tech Fisherman's Access Glory Hole Phil's Props Bob Sands Coyote Turners Tackle Direct Tackle Warehouse
and about 50 other places.....
If your local store does not carry our stuff, tell them they should. If the store picks up our lures based on your request, I will send a free care package to you full of harassers, shimmy shads, fatheads and more.
Check out our site as you will find tons of wood lures, and much, much more that you will like.
One more thing. If you catch an 8 pound of bigger bass on one of our lures, and you post the picture on this or some other thread, along with some detail of your catch, I will send you a free bass harasser. Simply email me at richardquade@hotmail.com, and shoot me a link to the post.
Tight Lines, Rick
