I picked up a pack of the craws while I was at Cabela's today. They are not special by any means. They are not scented and are a little harder than other Berkley baits, detail is about the same as others. I don't know what Berkley is thinking with this line, maybe an economy line of soft plastics. Maybe they will be something in the water, but otherwise just pretty average looking.

I'll be ordering some of Ike's baits. I saw them in the pool at Nashville.

Out of the water they look like a cross between a Stingray grub and a beaver.

In the water, they are something special.

That commercial, on the other hand, well and truly belongs in the "what the heck were you smoking" category.

.ghoti just looking at that bait it would have been the last one I would buy. Based on your opinion I will try a pack, might be a big surprise. They are sure cheap enough.

^the Ike bait is the only one that interests me at all.

I wonder if we would cut the flat tail off that bait if it would look like that funny looking Japanese grub that Raul likes so well ?

After watching that commercial it is apparent to me that KVD not only out classes these guys as an angler but as a person too. Skeet Reese is almost incoherent and he looks like he needs a bath. ESPN wanted to make heros out of guys like this.

  This whole thing might be an all time low for Berkley.
