Title: Crippled Herrings Discontinued : The Official Word
Post by: Bucktail on December 02, 2008, 01:29:35 AM

To follow up on the subject of Crippled Herrings being discontinued, it looks like a case of "Good News / Bad News".

Good News:  They will continue to produce the Crippled Herring up to 5 oz. ;D

Bad News:  They will continue to produce the Crippled Herring, but only up to 5 oz.  >:(

I would think that would cover you pretty well for inshore fishing (striper, bluefish, etc).  Although you may miss having that 7 1/2 oz. model to throw on for some of those nasty days.  I'll bet the offshore (tuna, cod) guys will miss that size and bigger.  I believe they used to make them up to 2 lbs! 

Oh well.  Guess it's time to stock up!  ;)

Here's Luhr Jensen's Crippled Herring assortment for 2009.

Thanks for the info.

The only saving grace is there are a fair number of decent knock offs or at least something very similar.  Doesn't seem to be the case with the Kroc Spoons though!
