I've heard rumblings that Rapala is truly making an attempt to make their wiggle warts as close to the Pre Raps as humanly possible to be released at next years (2015) Bassmaster Classic. We will see if that ever comes to fruition or if that is just hearsay. Even if they are indeed exact replica's to the T....they won't be. Know what I mean Vern?

If they would just fix the colors, and maybe the rattles a lot of folks would be happy. Really just the five or six craw colors would do it.

I find it hard to believe they have let money escape their pockets the way they have. Now with the Koppers and Spro baits (if the Spro ever releases) there will be more sales lost.

I heard a rumor that the Spro Rock Crawler will be released next month.

That is what I have read also. Was supposed to be out in the fall. Should be about like a black Friday stampede trying to get one.

Whenever those new baits come out, the money should flow out of these pre rapala wart auctions & the wart prices will pull back.

But using logic is never a good idea when it comes to the WW craze.

The thing is I doubt it. There will always be a mystique that surrounds the pre rapala warts whether that is warranted or not. Which is why the prices will most like stay high or continue to grow.

True that, the bait is getting a lot of hype.

Have some information that might clear up some things. First, the Spro Rock Crawlers will be available on January 15th, had some manufacturing delays that delayed them from their previously stated 11/15 eta. I heard from John Crews today who said the following: "I have fished an old wiggle wart quite a bit. The Rock Crawler is a really good bait. It will get down to 12ft on 12lb test. Nice hunting action. They are it really good the last few days. It's a winner." Crews is sponsored by Spro so I wouldnt expect him to talk trash on it but glad to see it has his seal of approval anyway.

Also, Normark is not redoing the wiggle warts and has no plans to do so. They maintain that the molds are the exact same, and the only difference is the materials that are used.

Do you know this as a fact, or is that your opinion?
