Have you tried the TN slim 80's yet?

Yep. Also donated one of them to my local waters brush piles. Nice baits for sure. I'll be keeping them in the rotation. Little different look from the standard fair.

Yo Zuri has a knack for killing off good baits suddenly with no explanation as to why. What's worse is I've seen at least 2 instances of them bringing back a discontinued bait from the dead (L Minnow & the Snap Bean) at a noticeably lower level of quality

I think Yo-Zuri are grossly underrated. Maybe things just don't sell enough to be profitable given the quality they put into them.

I think that these have been resurrected as the Duel HARDCORE® VIBE 70S with minor modifications. . Hard to tell without having one in hand, but if so it makes me a happy angler. The length and weight are nearly identical.

Had not seen it yet mentioned, but I do okay with the smaller Rapala Rippin Rap lures. I also have a Clown colored Owner Cultiva Mira Vibe that I like. Bought it for like $2 from TW on clearance, been a good lure, the 2X owner hooks on it were worth the price...

Sure looks that way! Keen eye...

I loved the Yo-Zuri Drum and also have one in Painted Shad! On a side note, BPS has a knock off of the Drum that sells for next to nothing and while the rattles are a little different, it's a great bait!

This is one of the things from Icast that I'm super excited about...new colors

Xcalibur XR50 in chrome/black

They are discontinued, but can still find them on eBay. I've caught 8 or 9 different species of fish on them, and I have 100% confidence in them at all times for bass. Ponds, lakes, shallow, deep, clear, murky, they will work. I troll with them a lot too when searching open water.

Yeah they need to look on eBay and see what those are selling for. I bought about 30 in black/chrome and citrus shad when TW had them in stock before they sold out. Best lure I've ever used.

Jackal TN series in new colors

I can't say it catches any more fish, but it sure is a neat, fun, loud and unique bait.
