#888, "Rago Raptor .... Castaic Platinum Series ?"


  

          

I don't usually troll on the forum but what the heck...

I saw the video of the Castaic Platinum Slow Roller. Looked pretty sweet. You can't always tell until you fish something yourself but it had a nice slow action to it.

I'm hearing about the Rago Raptor, Jerry posting some fish at Willow Beach and stuff. The smack talk is that its going to rival the hudd.

But how about a nice clear pic of each? A little tease before the Bass-a-Thon wouldn't hurt would it :9 C'mon guys, lets see this stuff.

That video wouldn't happen to be on the internet would it. Could you please post a link if it is. Thanks
The only pic of the Castaic which I have seen is in the "California Dreamin" BassWest which I am sure you have seen. Says it will be available Summer 2005.
I also heard about that insane striper report with the Raptor. I could of never imagined putting the hudds. in the closet for another lure. Anyways it is very cool to see the progression these lures are going through, i am sure Mickey has something up his sleeve.
I was curious if anyone has seen the Rago Tool, Eric's Tackle was waiting for a shipment last time I was there.

Josh, do you know if both baits are going to go into mass production?

Mass, as in what he has done with his 3D baits,top trout's and rats. making them available on TW and such.

Just curious on what you've heard,thanks!

What is the sink rate of the Platinum? The swim action looks good, the bait looks good. Just wondering what the effective water column range is.

And, I searched the internet for the Tool and Raptor and came up with nothing. Were can I see a pic of these baits?

Trevor- I don't know if Jerry is going to mass produce the Tool. I know it's a big bait and it's gonna be expensive!

On the raptor I imagine that it is gonna be mass produced since there is so much hype about it!

Thanks Josh. I believe I saw the tool once on Jerry's boat at Lk. Perris, it looked like allot of work would go into making them so I can understand why they would probably be hard to mass produce.

Looking forward to seeing the Raptors.

Thx again, Trever
