Bbob Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Does anyone make a lure like the elaztech popping shadz? Edited November 24, 2015 by Bbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I heard no more elaztech. No verifiable info though. These bait companies and patents and rights and agreements we know nothing about and don't have the time or interests to keep up with. Maybe someone with the real skinny will post it up. How about elaztech recipe? Now that would be awesome! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looks like a plastic insert at the front, rather than an over all tougher plastic. The design doesn't look anything special. I could not find a patent. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteSS Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think it is Boggs that has a patent on the cupped front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 It is so ridiculous that anyone would be allowed a patent on a cupped front fishing lure. Someone in the patent office is not doing their job properly. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 My God......these old eyes again. I read that as "pooping" shad. Now THAT would be one hell of an invention!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Tackle Warehouse shows these baits in stock. A friend of mine uses a lot of Strike King elaztech in a Z Too which is a 4.5" jerkbait. Out of curiosity, I looked for them in Bass Pro a couple weeks ago and didn't find any elaztech. Maybe they just aren't carrying this stuff anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I believe (could be wrong) the OP is looking for a mold like the design of the poppin shad. Not asking about elastec or where to find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
