Has anybody recieved one yet? I ordered one in August in hopes of getting it for this winter.

Got mine yesterday. I got 2 slow sinks.
Pretty cool custom tremble on the front that lays back on the belly with an integral magnet. First thing i thought was....man that looks like a hard Hudd with joints. I'll be test driving it this weekend

Well speak of the devil, they showed up on my door step today. The baits look good, very nicely done. I'll try to get photos from all angles up on the site soon.

Yes, I recieved mine last night also. Looks sweet and if it works as good as the video I saw of this thing it should catch some big uns. I got the 10" floater since I mostly fish from the bank. I did swap the split rings out for hyper wires though. The hooks look like they are quality so I left them alone. I like the unique front hook. Along with the bait they sent me a booklet of their baits and the platinum in it had a red front hook which looks better to me but mine came with a black front hook. Did you guys get the red or black front hook? Anyways awesome looking bait. Thank you Jason.
Hopefully I will get a chance to try it out at casitas this weekend.

I got the black hooks,,,but i did use some red nail polish and put a little red flash on the front hook. Also added a very small hairline of red at the gill plate. Really adds some "depth" to the head. Thanks for the tip
