Anybody tried them? $3.99 at one of the online retailers. I'll probably get some, I expect to change out the hooks and probably do some tuning.

I have a couple of the FatFree Guppies but haven't really thrown them much yet. I will say you may be pleasantly surprised with the stock hooks as they are black nickel & very sticky. The quality of these baits is well beyond the price point, these are hidden gems IMO
Will be trying some of the Flat A's as well with the cooler weather coming. The new weight transfer system should improve casting them a lot

I've heard some really good things about them. Great to hear about the hooks! I'm always replacing the ones on the higher priced Bombers pretty soon after putting them into use, so cool to hear they're using good hooks on the cheaper Gen 2 versions. I'll definitely be trying them.

I gotta wonder if the $3.99 price is a shrewd move on Pradco’s part to generate a positive buzz. All the first generation baits are still in the $6-$7 range while the latest/greatest are much lower. I only wished they’d have modernized the Square A, that is a killer little squarebill.

Maybe - get people, and I hate to say it. 'hooked'. then raise the price to $7.99
Got a couple of the new Flat A's in earlier this week and threw one for a while yesterday. I didn't get bit but it casts very nicely and has a real nice action to it. Here's some pics of the weight transfer setup. These, while very quiet, are not 100% silent because of the balls but during a slow steady retrieve shouldn't put out much noise at all.
