Did they change the formula in the plastic? They tear up much quicker than the last time I bought them a few years ago. Sometimes I won’t even get one fish out of them. They are tearing up just from Tex posing.

Been a while since I got a new pack. I’d give them a ring and let them know where you bought the baits. Might have been a bad batch or they might send you out a replacement. 

All their baits seem to tear easier than before. Fished a tournament both days this weekend and I went through 3 bags of sweet beavers. I love RI baits but it might be time to find something more durable.

Over the years I have noticed their baits soften up in the heat. I don't know about a new formula.  I bought a few packs of Skinny Dippers back in April.  They worked fine then but now in 90 degree weather, they seem squishy.  Sitting in the garage, they're fine.
