Sounds to me like you are an unsatisfied customer. If you feel like you have been cheated by this product, I am sure Aqueous Outdoors would appreciate hearing from you. Below is their address and hopefully they will make somekind of concession with you:

Maybe they will produce a HD Model for Big Yellowtail.
-Send them some feedback on the product.

I am not so sure those hinge joints will hold on a bruiser

But I think I'll go ahead and make one

I was interested in this lure so I contacted the manufacturer to see where they are being sold. They are available at Blue Water in Solana Beach and Fisherman's landing.

After reading some of the experiences that early adopters had, I forwarded a link to this thread to the owner of Aqueous Outdoors, Jeff Law. He responded immediately saying that the lure has been redesigned with more durable materials and that he would replace any of the early models that have broken. Anyone who has experienced a problem should contact Jeff at sales@aqueousoutdoors.com

His email to me is attached below.

Jeff seems like a good guy and the lure sure looks interesting. I plan on giving it a try.

Bob,

Thanks for the heads up on the message board. We have changed material from the first Candy Macks we sold at the Fred Hall shows and Day at the Docks. We found an A & B part polyurethane that is super tough with just enough flexibility. Skate board wheels are made of polyurethane. I have tried to get the word out through our retailers that we will gladly replace all of the lures made from the old material. Please pass that info to the guys on the message board.

The new lures have caught 70lb yellow fin and 45lb Yellowtail on the long range boats this summer with no problems. The retail price is 29.99. The 39.99 came from an interview with ESPN sports when we first showed prototypes at ICAST 2008 and were still shopping for parts vendors.

I'm the manufacturer so don't take my word on the Candy Mack's performance vs. the iron. Check other message boards if you want to know how the Candy Mack performed this summer and fall on the long range boats. I also encourage guys to talk to the boat captains and crew. Or they can contact Jack and Fisherman's Access or Luc and Anglers Choice and get the feedback their customers have been giving them.

Thanks for your interest Bob.

that is very cool in this day and age. The response and the offer

I saw them at Day at the docks. Cool lures but I like my irons.

36.00 on the other hand is nothing compared to Freshwater bass swimbaits. Ive paid more than that for a soft plastic swimbait. Hard baits can get ridiculous.
