Thread: Bobby Garland baits

I noticed last week on a new package of bobby Garland minnow mind'r monkey milk that they were a product by Pradco Outdoor Brand from Fort Smith, Arkansas and that they were made in Guatemala, the older packages I have were a product of Gene Larew Lures from Tulsa, Oklahoma, they were made in the "USA"
I think that may have something to do with it.

Yep, the company changed hands recently.

As to whether or not that has anything to do with the shortage, I have no idea.

I have been searching the internet for beetle juice minnow mindr and can't find anyone that has them in stock. I have also noticed that the local Bass Pro doesn't have near the choices as in the past. Maybe I am not using a popular color and it's been discontinued. Just curious if anyone knew the scoop?

Many places are low on stock of certain hot colors. I think it is a COVID effect of places having limited production combined with the shopping frenzy during peak crappie season.

Last summer and fall I was looking for certain baits for walleye and they were backordered. Bought them early so I'd be ready for this late-summer/fall. Long time to wait to see if they'll even work!
