I've seen nothing about this crankbait, but 6th Sense seems to make a good product.  It seems they're trying to make a bait that hunts often, and I think it's a good idea if they've tuned this model correctly.

 

Hopefully it catches fish and fishermen alike.

 

What say you, BR?

News of this one came out July 2019 ~  

Academy Sports was selling them last month (April) but they sold out quickly.

I may pick one up if they ever become available again.

Interesting concept.

I have seen a few on IG.  They made a limited run and they were selling it at only a few Academy’s and sold out quick..  I believe the concept was invented by someone else in the early 90’s.  I can’t remember his name.  Interesting for sure.

I'm a huge 6th sense fan, and huge crankbait fan so I really want to try one. Getting my hands on one looks like it might be difficult.

I guess i'll buy one or two to try once they're in stock.  You may have to twist my arm to get me to do it though...

Went to the Academy by me for the first time this year I believe, at least since all the crazy started, they didn't have any of these.

I did find this description on their site rather funny:

No baitfish swims in a straight line. Neither should your crankbait.

 

So then, why does all of their other crankbaits run straight? ?

I like the concept so I'll probably pick up a couple. I imagine they'll charge a premium for them though. 

Rapala had the same idea with their Scatter Rap. Bill design is different but the hunting action is very similar. The Scatter Rap isn't a big success, apparently, as I see them on clearance in bait stores all over.

The problem with that bait was you couldn't burn it or it would blow out. The concept was great, the execution not so.

I've been seeing it advertised but haven't seen or talked to anyone who's used it yet. The 6th Sense squarebills I already have are good quality and I'm currently waiting on a couple Hybrid Swim Cranks to try too. I wouldn't mind seeing how the Axis is once they're readily available.

I disagree, they have done well for me, anglers for some reason didn’t buy into it. Only bummer is they can’t be reeled too fast. Will be curious to see if the 6th sense bait has the same issue. I will definitely pick some up at some point. 
 

Didn’t read far enough as I guess I just repeated info on the Raps
