I recently purchased a swimbait on Ebay and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. Ive searched around and cant seem to come up with any info.

The bait in question is a JERRY RAGO REAL TROUT SWIMAIT BY CASTAIC.

According to the seller its 8.5 inches long and weighs 6 ounces. Its a slow sink model.

How exactly will this bait work? Its not jointed(as shown in the pic) so is it just a boot tail design? What does something like this usually retail for in stores?

it is a "problem bait" hate to break it to ya.

Lot of people have had problems with it running strangely (open mouth adding to that), the paint rubbing off (I had that problem), etc. It has produced fish for people however so if yours fishes ok then it should be ok.

I knew the slow sink to be 8" and 5oz but that was what TW listed.

that ebay price is pretty much the norm these days.
