Those 180's in 1 1/2 to 2 ounce are getting smashed right now on Lewisville!!!! I like chartreuse, white, or a combination. Also the holo patterns work extremely well!!! If I am going more for hybrids, I REALLY like the 1 1/2 ounce to 2 ounce haymakers!!!! Get you a few TNT's and find out which ones you like best. You won't be disappointed.

The TNT's are awesome. Way to go Bryon! Glad they are in Arlington. I'm running low because of hang-ups.

Thanks guys for your support. Looks like some of the stores have them and some dont. Just remember this is a new item to these stores, some of the people that work at these stores dont even know that they are there. They wont always be in the usual slab spots per say. Look high, even low, if there is a box in a cart, might even peak there,lol. Being something new to be carried in the middle of the season makes it hard on them to get into the normal setups of placements as well. The TNT's have to show that they are worth keeping around, and maybe one day they will be in spots where they can be more easily found. Thanks again, and I will pass more along when I know any new news in regards to these stores.

DONT USE TNT SLABS THEY WILL WEAR OUT YOUR FISHING POLES!!
When I use them my poles keep bending and something keeps try to pull all the line out I have to either cut it or real them in and get them off of the lure. How do you supposed to read or nap with all that going on?

Striperag, before I even got the first purchase order Academy wanted me to do more stores than this. At this time there is really only so many I can output. Things are in the works to go into more stores in the future, and ways to increase output are in motion. These things take time,but if I can keep them happy in supplying them when I am suppose to, and if I can sell the product, then that will allow me the opportunities to get other stores in the future. This wont happen overnight,but we will see what the future holds. I got some pics today from good buddy,Holzer today. I will try and post them on here when I find some spare time to give ya some direction on where to possibly find them in these stores, they arent all in the same places.
Also, if you are wanting to try out the baits, I would highly suggest using one of my online vendors, www.finnytribe.com and www.crucialtackle.com they are both pleasant folks to deal with and ship them fast.... that is the best I can do for the time being.

Really just didnt think to post about it in the bass section to be honest. Will do it there as well though, thanks for your interest. I sell mostly to the sand bass, hybrid, and striper fishermen,but there have been some nice largemouth, spotted, and small mouth bass fall victim to them as well. Check out the lures on my website, I dont currently sell there,but I do have a couple online vendors and close to 30 stores now selling them.
Link to see the baits:

Here is a photo gallery with some nice bass included:

oh, im definitely interested. i rarely fish for stripers, but i do and some sandbass. however, this past winter i was using some other slabs for some deep jigging and caught bass, crappie, sandbass etc...so it looks like i could use a couple of these and want to support the tff and its members grin

Okay here are a couple pics of where they are located at Grapevine(thanks Holzer). I just want you to see what the packaging looks like and one place you might be able to find them. I just got off the phone with my buyer with Academy, and being a new product being introduced during the middle of the season it is hard for them to put them in prime locations. He told me might be looking at endcap areas, anywhere they can basically put them. The lures are going to the stores that have been listed as before,but they may take awhile to get out on the floor. Hope that helps. Thanks guys!

FYI - A buddy of mine was at the east Plano (75 near Spring Creek) store & confirmed they are on the shelf w/ the other slabs. He said they had a real good selection. Go get'em.

Hey Basangler here are some pics for you too see where they are at in the plano locations to better help you and others who maybe looking for them in those two stores. These probably hit after you had been in there as you probably wouldnt have missed'em. Guys this all takes time for them to hit shelves,but the list they gave me are the stores that they will be in, hopefully already are, or soon to be, sorry but best I can do. You can't rely on what anyone tells you if they are in these stores unfortunately. These lures are in a good portion of the stores this is a new product for them if some of the workers there dont even know where they are at, so keep that in mind....and remember not always where you think they would be it is a mid season add on, so they gotta put them where they can....but the plano stores have them in nice places actually... also there stock levels are moving, so they could be in a store this week and out till restocked thru distribution.Thanks guys, good fishing... no lures for me for a couple days, taking a family weekend, havent done it all summer and I am TOAST, crazy

Burleson Academy has'em on the end caps just like Plano West does (Although they are on the opposite side of the isle!) Just bought 5 or 6 more. Wanna try 'em on Whitney tomorrow!

Don't think this was one of the original stores listed, but I saw some in the Fort Worth store off I-20 and Bryant Irvin Rd. Kind of a surprise to see them there.

I dont forsee in the near future them carrying the limit gitters. That is a great bait though, that some of my other vendors do carry. If you should ever have a problem finding them, pm or email me and I will see what I can do for ya.
