Yep I agree on TW, great shipping policy. I did look there for grubs, but the colors and sizes I wanted were out of stock. You guys must be buying them all :lol:

I agree on the time delay if ordering directly from gycb. Also, you are stuck with a minimum shipping charge of $14.95! I called in my order in hopes of having them put my order in a Postal Service "if it fits it ships for $4.95" envelop. No luck on that one as the order taker explained their little town's USPS office does not have the ability to handle the number of packages they ship on a daily basis. So... Gycb makes a two hr drive to the nearest UPS hub a couple of times a week, maybe more if they have a full truck! Too bad for the customer their company chose to set up shop in such a secluded town. Anyway, I ordered way more pumpkin with black flake and pond scum perch 5" kut tail worms than I really wanted just to lower the average cost per worm. No wonder the postal service is broke. That's another story. I will also drop gycb an email to reconsider bringing back the clear with silver flake grubs. Sounds like a great color for super clear water.

As of 07:30 this morning (5/14), Outlet Bait and Tackle has a 60% sale going on and the have GYCB 5" single tail grubs for sale, $3.50 per 10 pack. Their shipping is normally quick and inexpensive (max $6.95). They only have 9 different colors listed, but maybe it happens to be one you are looking for. I do see a smoke with black/silver flake. The grubs are on page 2 of the sale if you are interested.

Sent them an email this weekend about that particular color - no reply so far.

QB,

Thanks, I will contact them again about that color also. I know others who want that bait. Will let them know to contact Yamamoto. Maybe get some results?

Yeah let's hope they make some more, sounds like a great color.

That Pond Scum perch Kut Tail worm sounds interesting, War Eagle has Pond Scum Perch as a jig skirt color and it works pretty well. I also like the purple/brown laminate for the Kut Tail for drop-shotting.

FYI. The pond scum perch is out of their Kinami line and is sku K7L-11-K849 for the 5" Kut Tail style worm. It's a keeper!

I'll get off of this pursuit now but, fyi, response I received from Yamamoto was minimum order for remake of discontinued colors is 350 bags. Let's see if I can figure that one out @ 20/bag, somewhere around 7,000 grubs. Best get a new favorite. Heck, even one of my fishing buddies name on his email is "silvergrub". Later

I just got a response from them, they said if they made a batch it would take "10 years" to sell them all. Oh well...
