About a year ago I posted about a bait I was trying to identify.It was similar to a Zoom Brush hog(creature bait). I had purchased a "lot" of baits and some of the baits I have pictured were included in that lot. I posted here to see if anyone could ID the baits,as they were bagged in some generic Ziploc bags. Some people had ideas,but the exact name of the bait and manufacturer were never pinpointed.

Fast forward to present day. I have again purchased a "lot" of baits and in that lot were 2 bags of the exact bait I was trying to ID previously.I now know these baits are 4" Gator Pups manufactured by Reaction Baits.They also make a 5" version called a Gator Dog

Now that this has been established,I would like to know if anyone knows where I can get more? For some reason I REALLY like this bait. I have tried the website listed on the bag(www.reactionlures.com) and it comes up with some Japanese stuff and a picture of a girl brushing her teeth(?)

If anyone knows of anyone who carries these Reaction baits,and would be willing to divulge this info or any other info concerning this company,id be most appreciative.

**EDIT**

I have done some searching online and have discovered Reaction Lures was bought out by Stanley Lures. They have refined the bait I am inquiring about and now its called "ITZABUG" A little different design,but pretty much the same overall.Heres a link for anyone who is interested:

haha how funny a fishing website with a girl brushing her teeth, those baits look ok though i may have to pick me up a bag and try them.

Here's something you might like, if you havent already checked these out

Ya know,The I like the looks of the baits I posted above,and as stated It seems they are now being made by Stanley. If you look at the link for the Stanley ITZABUG,Theres a video of the bait in action.

I dont know if its because they are trying it weightless,but it doesnt seem to have alot of appendage action.On the dropshot setup they display,there doesnt seem to be any seriouss appealing motion. Maybe these baits look good but dont perform?

Now as far as the Larew Hoodaddy,thats a pretty cool looking bait. Thanks for the link.

Yeah I don't know if it's because it was weightless or what but that itzabug had no action. I'd go with what Thai suggested instead of those stanley ones.

Rage Hawg is another to consider:
