    xps swimbait

    I bought a box of swimbaits off ebay and it had 3 of (I think) the "secret" swimbaits in it, I noticed BPS is selling them again, how can I tell if they are the older version of newer??

    If they are the real deal they are worth alot, contact Steve Kennedy and Takahiro Omori and get them into a bidding war

    The old xps ones didn't run worth a flip, that was part of the trick

    I think the ones in the pic are smaller than the one they throw.

    I believe the 6" model is the one that brings the high $$.

    The old ones are a full 6" and don't run worth a crap. They roll over unless you reel them real slow.

    Tackle Experts isn't making anything. They are coming from Lane Rochester with 7fifteen baits. And they run just like they should....

    That is not correct. Tackle Freaks (Kevin Baxter, no longer affiliated with Tackle Experts) are selling "The Babe" made by 3F - Fishing for Five, code name FFJ.

    No one said tackle experts, it's tackle freaks, and yes he is definitely involved in this new one called "The Babe"

    I paid @ $15 for a plano box full of different swimbaits.. these 3 were mixed in with them.. I don't know if they are the original ones or the new ones.. I was just curious if there was a way to tell if they are original or not and if was worth it to try and sell..

    If they're a full 6 inches, they're the older version. That's what I've always been told
