I said around Septoctvember. This is later than what we hoped but late adjustments to formula and shape will make for a better product we think. ------------- give it death! |

"Whatever" is all I can say. Would have to pretty special to have all this hype surrounding a new product launch. Sometimes over anticipation and hype is associated with major, major let down. I hope these lads have actually got there Shhhhhiiiite together and it doesnt all end up in tears :)
Might go back to using smelly old baits  ------------- http://www.blackbillsportfishing.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">

Probably would have heaps if they were at the boatshow as soon as the biobaits arrive in grubs no need to get gulps anymore only gulps i have are shads and grubs + biobaits do custom colours SLAM - Slow Lame Agonizing Marketing there is nothing special about the bloody things anyway

Getting ****e together takes plenty of time Wetspot. This is the reason for the delays as there is too much at stake and we can do without the tears. There will be some new colours and there will be some familiar ones too - no sense in producing new colours that don't sell or re-inventing the wheel. ------------- give it death! |

I read that add with interest,it really says
"Available in popular colours proven in NZ"

Falco,
Proven in NZ means some of us have been lucky enough to have tested them.
Take it from me, and a few others from fnet, they will be worth the wait. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

Yep they got smacked, & like Chris says, they are getting their ****e together, READ {adjusting our input from the freebie trials}  cant wait either. Carbine, all I have of the gulps is 4 packs of differing grub tails nothing else, I am allergic to them, nah just using less fortunate ones to spread it around now that a kiwi company is doing it, I am all for buying their stuff. Just like the home grown rods no matter the price, mum & I will one for each style of fishing one day. BUY KIWI MADE if you can

If the stimulate is anything to go by, they'll be good I reckon.

| By all counts they sound good, and the stimulate has worked well for me in the past. And Septoctvember sounds about when I'll next get a chance for a fish if my mates are anything to go by!! |

Well my comments were worth it for the WINDUP factor. To stop my nagging how about putting team Wetspot on the Trials team ? ------------- http://www.blackbillsportfishing.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">
