hey Alex - there is some truth to that  ;) The first few are heading with me to Oman in a couple of weeks in fact.  Available to purchase I would suggest a month or so

Alex, John is on the money final stages of the first batch of re-release full scales and I am indeed sending some to SO with John to test the durability first to make sure they are up to the tough SO GT's if they pass then the first batch of lures will be about 1 month after that.

Hey guys - we will be stocking the full range as they become available from Kyle and his production line and i'm pretty certain that the Sidewinders will come second from recent conversations we had - including this proto sinking version in the photo ;)

JC is on the money, the initial run will be all going to Ebb Tide Adventures and it will include the previously un released 140 Kong the Kong 180, big 180, 200, big 200, Long Kong and King Kong they will only be available in a limited range of colours but this will expand over time. Some time later the pencils will come and the stick baits that will include the sidewinder or variation of it and possibly a sinking stick but that is in the developement stage still. The reason for a delay with the stick baits is they are more technical in construction due to the non symetrical nature and are not produced on a lathe but a carving machine that i am making at the moment. So in short the poppers will be back in the not to distant future followed by pencils and sticks, Jasmine and I appreciate people patients with regard to the re release.

Cheers

Kyle
