Do they have the new Rago Hitch?

For all you guys that went to Bassathon in Nov last year. Dont worry about the Kokanee "exclusive" color. They were an exclusive and the only 40 at the show were not duplicated totally. The new color exactly the same as at bassathon, is different. The new baits have the rate of fall written on the tail. The bassathon 40 baits did not. So they are probly going to be highly collectible since there were only 40 produced without a number on the tail. Food for thought

actually we had quite a few with no # on the tail. Sorry for the word exclusive. Maybe I should of used limited. Also we have the kokanee with pink and with out pink. You(basshun...) may want to edit your post it is a little hard to understand. thanks eric

I talked directly to a shop employee thats how I got my information, Maybe the shop guys mis led me or didnt know what he was talking about. OK so last years Exclusive bait for bassathon is now not collectable OH well now I fish it darn. Bet Rick Grover is not happy about that.

Hey Don, maybe this will clear this up. The first pic is of 5 baits, from left to right is 2004 Bass-a-thon dark trout, then standard trout, Bass-a-thon 2005 cutthroat, Bass-a-thon 2005 Kokanee and then Eric's Long Beach 2006 Coconie w/ pink cheek and stripe. second pic is the Bass-a-thon 2005 Kokanee with no pink and then Eric's 2006 Coconie. Eric also had this bait with no pink cheek or stripe just like Bass-a-thon 2005. But for you collectors and that means you Don, the Bass-a-thon package has the "swimbaits rock" label and no hand writing and nothing on the tail and the 2006 Eric's have hand written in ballpoint pen ROF and Coconie and no label and gold 5 or 12 on the tail. The 3rd & 4th pics are from the same bait. it is labeled Hitch and one side of the bait is painted Hitch(no spots) and the other side is painted Kokanee w/ spots.
