It was actually the first and only river 2 sea product Ive ever bought. I know they have some big winners. People on these forums are nuts about some of their products, like the whopper plopper for example. .. but that one product left me pretty sour. And I don't need their products to catch bass. Not with the seemingly unlimited choices I have at my disposal. 

 

The Whopper plopper is the only thing I have from river2sea.That thing is temperamental.Wants to roll and takes 5-10 feet of retrieval before it gets to plopping.

I only have it because it came in my LTB. I'd buy 2 Pad Crashers before I got another Plopper

Lol there were threads made almost daily raving about the plopper. I've seen threads for rods dedicated just for the plopper. Ha-ha. 

Apparently the R2S "slammer" is nice too. I've seen it get some praise. But like I said, so many choices... after they burned me on that crayfish they won't get my business anymore. 

How long you been using the swing impact ? 

I haven't.I've only used a few small paddletails as trailers,and the zoom swimming fluke on the weighted hook.

The 90 and 130 are like completely different lures in how they fish honestly. I have both and rarely use the 90 anymore, it's really temperamental like you describe. The 130 pretty much eliminates all the issues the 90 has. 

I'm usually not quick to give something so much praise but that lure was by far my biggest producer in both quantity and size this summer. 

Interesting.Maybe ill pony up for it one of these days.I have to buy a filing cabinet to organize my soft plastics too.

Whopper plopper is for real - very effective - from Johns lake in Fl to smallmouth streams in appalachia - it has been a very reliable producer.

River2sea is a creative company with some excellent products - many of their products have been copied by the big dogs.

Since they were first introduced.  After fishing the Rage Tail Swimmer I have given all of the Keitech away.
