Crippled Herrings Discontinued : The Official Word

[Bucktail]

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.

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!

I'm kinda digging that new Holographic Smash Flash bait.  Looks cool!
