Somebody may know something different but I think this is it. They brought it back but it may not be exactly the same.

I don't think that's it. The one Take is using is a Line Thru Swimbait. Looks more like an Osprey line thru

Not out of the package but when I used to throw them I would modify them to be. Better hook up ratio and it's harder for the bass to throw it when they jump. This one has never seen the water. I customize all my swim baits... I've had these probably 15+ years

If my memory is correct that bait was discused on film during the knowing Mister Kennedy vid produced by bass zone as I remeber it his father found a pile of them in a closeout bin at a bass pro out of town and he bought them all. Not sure I think he also mentioned Tak wanted some bad so him sold him some of the colors he didnt want so much also tak was shown fishing a line thru bait on wheeler not the bps bait kinda looked like a smaller rago to me not sure.


When in doubt set the hook..Retie often

Pretty sure the bait is the XPS Lazer Eye, which as stated, isn't made any more.

Hypothetically speaking on the BPS ones, if I happened to be cleaning out some old tackle in the garage and came across a couple of these NIB what kind of $ would they bring?

You can make any soft body swimbait into a thru line
