These baits have been disappearing from shelves and online catalogs. Have they been discontinued?

I know they used to be made by Excalibur and Bill Dance's name was put on it, then Heddon purchased it, and now I can't seem to find them anywhere besides small websites online that charge a fortune for shipping.

Also, has anyone had success with this bait in a certain color? The threadfin shad color looks amazing, and so does the pumpkinseed.

I just picked some up Shipping wasn't too terrible.

Heddon did not purchase anything, Heddon is one of the many brands that form the PRADCO conglomerate ( Arbogast, Heddon, Bomber, Yum, Cotton Cordel, Smithwick, Rebel, etc, ) and yes, they have been not only discontinuing lots of baits from the different brands they own but also they have been dissapearing brands they owned ( Riverside ). Now if you can 't find it at stores you can still order it direct from the company: www.lurenet.com

BTW, it 's out of stock.

I hope that is not discontinued, I like it better than a spook.
