If anyone has a connection for these, I'd appreciate it. Raid Japan 5" Full Swing Swimbait. Down to my last pack.

I see 2 or 3 sources from just searching Google for Raid Swimbait. Not cheap but they look pretty good.

 

Similar to Keitech?

I've never tried the Keitech. I've grown to really liking these from Raid, they've got a circular tail action that seems to get a lot of reaction bites. I've seen the results on Google, but those that have them are very limited in colors. From what I can tell they are having problems keeping them on the shelves in Japan also. Tried to buy some off a friend in Korea today, but he's not coming off any of his as they are hard to find there too. Raid must be a small operation that's having problems keeping up with demand.

I may get some of these they look cool. Favorite color?

I wish you luck, Harold.  When you find some, buy all you can.  Seems that lots of JDM soft plastics are like that....(I suppose there's lots that come and go quickly here, too)

 

If it isn't Reins, Keitech or Jackall, I have little confidence I'll find it again soon

Thanks, saw this the other day when I was searching, but not the color(s) I am looking for. Even the JDM retailers are having problems keeping them stocked.

Colors I'm looking for are Scuppernong and Guripan/Chart.

There are a lot of good baits in this style @Choporoz, but these from Raid Japan have given me better than average results. I wish a bigger company could copy them, and like I mentioned earlier, the tail action on these is different from the others and it really draws them out of the grass beds. Lesson learned; I won't wait until I run out again. Should they ever get these in stock again, I'm putting down the coin.
