Does anyone know if these were discontinued? I only see 3 inch on their site. TW has 2.5 but it might be remaining stock as i don’t see them elsewhere. Thanks.

Just email Reins.

There is a 2.5" Ring Craw Mini listed at reinsfishing.com. Is that the same thing?

It is. I am not sure if it’s just remaining stock. Tackle Warehouse has some as well. the retailers I normally use and everyone else has not had them in stock for a long time, only 3 inch. I did reach out to Reins before and they never answered my question. They only said it was available on their website. Companies like Lucky craft will sell off their remaining stock on their website for discontinued baits.

Spoke with a vendor. It is not discontinued. Expensive bait and retailers are not restocking it that often.

For whatever reason Reins/Hayabusa has changed or DCd some great products. Their Baitfish and Bluegills colors used to be more opaque, which made them really unique as no one else offered a similar color that I know of.

They got rid of the 2.5" Gtail creature, which is an awesome trailer for those micro Keitech jigs. Just like the larger 3", the thin body and limp tails have a minimal effect on the fall rate of the jig, especially when compared to other trailers.

The 3" bubbling shaker is one of my favorite baits for winter and late fall. I like using the bluegill color on the bluegill mono spin keitech jig and it crushes em all year.

Im really fond of the tungsten football weights too. The guy that turned me onto them hords them like diamonds.

The Hayabusa Shooting Ball and Baby Shooting Ball heads were axed as well. The Shooting Ball is a football head with a med wire hook and light nulti bristle mono guard. They were my favorite hula grub head. The Baby Shooting Balls were like a litlle round/football hybrid head with a #2 hook, great for neds and any other little bait.

I use the Bubbling Shaker too in the same way

Never understood why Reins never achieved profile of other JDM lure makers. I love Swamp Movers, Bub shakers, Rockville shads...

Maybe they need a successful hardbait....or better marketing department? But lack of visibility has led to challenges in finding them at times.

Yeah, Im running out of Rockvibes as well. The fat rockvibes were ok, but my deal was the 3" rockvibes in Ghost Pro blue, Clear Pearl Silver, Pearl Black flk, straight pearl and baitfish They were like 6$ for 15 which is a good deal and theyre far more durable than keitechs. That body shape is real unique. The wide body had plenty of material and size for larger hooks, but the l limited height keeps profile small. I guess that shape is popular over there for some kind of trout in super clear water and most companies have a representation of it. Keitech brought their version to the US market last year.

What heads are you using for the Rockvibes?
