Ive been trying to track one down for a while. Ive seen a few things written about them on here but not much in very great detail. I was wondering if anyone here who has one could share their opinion. 

 

by the way, Ive been checking the sight for a couple months now and mattlures has not updated their inventory of hardgills. Anyone know anything about that?

you might try sending him a personal message on here. He has a few posts and might be able to answer you directly or send him an email.  He's really good about getting back to you quickly.  

Be patient and follow some of the swimbait message boards, especially on Facebook.

 

Soon is the best guess for hardgills.
