mojorig Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Every one of the pre-rapala warts that I have had Tim Hughes custom paint have had eyes like the above picture. Jeremy Risley District Fisheries Supervisor AGFC Mountain Home Office - 1-877-425-7577 Email: Jeremy.Risley@agfc.ar.gov
dtrs5kprs Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Could it be that they lucky strike copied Tims paint? Or had him design a few colors for them? No, those are warts for sure and certain. Good thought on it being a special run of Tim's colors though.

I don't guess I'm picking up what you're throwing down. I mean could it be that lucky strike had Tim design the paint? Maybe that's why it looks like the bps exclusive paint.

Maybe that's why it looks like the bps exclusive paint. No Luck E Strike involved. It is a wart in a wart box. If they are Hughesy's colors he must have designed them for Storm/Rapala.
5bites Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah that is TOTALLY different than the current green craw (or more like GOLD CRAW) that Rapala is putting out now. That looks very much like the pre rapala green craw. Nice find Dave. Another thing, what is up with the new wiggle warts that are BPS exclusives like the phantom colors, pbj, etc that they came out with that Hughes designed the paint schemes? The eyes are TOTALLY different and are not "wart" looking like the pre rap's. You know what they look like? Exactly like the Luck E Strike Wart Hog that failed and was pulled from the market due to quality control issues. I never did get to try one but others here did I believe. Reviews were not good. This is what I was referring too. I think we got our wires crossed.
dtrs5kprs Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 This is what I was referring too. I think we got our wires crossed. Think Brett took them to be reminiscent of the Luck E's due to the eyes. They are all wart. Albeit new wart.
5bites Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Yes I know. He asked why they looked a lot like the wart hawg. I was just offering a possible suggestion. It's probably them copying something like they tend to do but I don't know.
Members ericangler Posted January 22, 2015 Members Posted January 22, 2015 i contacted rapala about them the reply made me think they didnt know anything about v-old series of baits told me to look at online actions for them cuase all the colors they made were on their website. i just dont understand what they are thinking with the current colors.
