New or enhanced products: Loaded bombers and redfins

[DarkSkies]

Stopped in to see Ronnie at Fisherman Supply the other day. They're now selling loaded redfins, bombers etc.

I set up this thread up to honestly critique them.

If ya think they're crap, please say why and support your argument.

If ya like them, please say why as well.

Price: $9.99

My opinion:
Haven't used mine yet, so I can't honestly assess whether I like them or not.

I do like the convenience. Anyone can do this for themselves, just drill a hole in the top, inject 10ccs of water, or put the birdshot in, and seal with epoxy.

Redfins and the magnum bombers they're doing normally go for $7 or $8 in a tackle shop. For $2 more, you get a loaded one, and ya don't have to do the work.

Based on that alone, they seem worth it. However I need to hear from people who've swum them, for the real test,

How did ya like them?
Did ya feel they swam any deeper?
Were they worth it?

Thanks, people.

He has some one load them for him.
This is another convenience for the new breed of bass fisherman no learning curve or experience needed

I've been loading redfins for 30 years do a search I explained it here a few times with pictures. Gave Ronnie a couple of mine through the years along with tin squids and riggered eels. Killie fishes mine too .

I find a lot of fun in fishing is the preperation.
Tying teasers, dressed tail hooks, leaders, working on plugs.
Maintaining, tinkering with surf fishing equipment.
Would not want any other way.
