More on Vudu quality
 

Ok, been testing every darn thing we can. Bottom line is, you can't store Vudu Shrimp ANYWHERE NEAR other plastics. Even if the Vudu is in a separate tray and other plastics made from PVC are close it may harm it. Also no scents or Gulp juice. There's a link below to our site with a tip.

So far, my Vudu have been in 100 degrees in a zip lock bag and I've had no issues. I also have a separate small plano with Vudu only and have no problems. But just to see, I put a few Wedgetails in there and left it in the boat and the shrimp got gummy and sticky.

We sure welcome any solutions or comments to help everyone. Send them to me ken@egretbaits.com

what about storing different color Vudus with each other. Will the color fade between them? Pearl, natural, pink/green, rootbeer?

Dang Mr Ken, you guys do an excellent job with field testing and research. Keep up the good work.

Are they safe near each other? I had mine next to a mirrolure when they shape shifted.

I have all my vudu in one tray (separate little boxes, 2 per cube) never had any kind of problem, and I leave em in my boat.

I would say yes because they come two per pack and seem to be fine.

I keep mine in original packs and never had a problem.

I also have several in their original packs sitting on top of other plastics (gulp, skull draggerz, cacahoes) and have not had any problems. They are kept in hot garage and have stayed in hot truck for a few days too.

Lots of good info TOO LATE, just threw a dozen away, tentacles and legs melted off, the body itself was gooey, a waste of good money. Weak hooks and now this. Seems not much testing was done before putting them on the market. It still has potential, but for now, I am done with this (poor) quality lure attempt.

Here is a guy trying to make his product better for his customers and you go posting this stuff

shame on you

I hope all your rods and reels break too

I've kept mine in my waterproof Plano boxes. All my Vudus are in the same big slot and I've never had a problem with them melting. Of course, I don't keep them in extremely hot areas, besides the garage. Only thing I had a complaint about was the hooks and that's being fixed. Thx Ken!

I'm sure everything he's ever done was perfect the first time he tried it!:rolleyes:

At least he has good customer service unlike some others.

^^^^^^^ this

I'm sure u would have caught loads of fish with them baits....



What an idiot; good luck in life if this is how u respond to somebody trying to solve a problem.

It is nice to see a company that can admit that something is wrong and work towards a solution rather than make excuses or worse just ignore the customer all together.

I had a couple in a tray with a couple other plastics melt but the one with other vudu were fine

I agree; we have all witnessed what happens when a company ignores customers and then makes excuses instead of admitting there is a problem and offering a solution!!
Thumbs up to egret baits!!

That's NOT what she said!

Not so far, I've mixed them in a zip lock. No issue yet...

Glad to issue a full refund to anyone who is not satisfied. Just need a receipt, or if you bought them online, your full name.

^^^^^^
Ken ; ur a good man.
Keep up the hard work!

the baits are great, and thanks for improving on them. only sparkle beetles are 100% Perfect!!! :)

Nice job on the baits and working to solve the problems. I have used vudu and had it melt but don't throw it often, once the issues are worked out I can see myself throwing it more often. May I suggest using a better package? I wouldn't have a problem leaving them in the original package, but I think an issue is when we change lures and just throw them into a pile of lures we are using that day (if switching it up to see what they want).

Maybe something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/plastic-stor...1070%26ps%3D54

Havent tried any yet,and not sure what kind of finish they have(like an oily finish or with a scent) Just wondering if anyone has tried storing them in bags with baking soda or baby powder. Used to store some spinnerbait skirts like that to keep them from melting together. Seemed to work for that.

Is the plastic you are using a 1 part system or is there a catalyst? I'm sure that would be a starting point. I think you could get away with another type of plastic being used to make the bait also

Wow, what a professional response. I would have just ignored the idiot.

If they were jelly and legs missing what makes them not catch fish. I would never put baits like that in tackle treys bc I keep those kinda baits in the box they came in. That away you don't loses the pair. And it hides it from your friend that takes the last one when y'all whacking em. Lol. Happened to me.jmo

Ken, Thank you for an excellent line of lures and your professionalism. I own all of the Egret line of baits.
I have bought over 30 Vudu packs in all colors and shared them with my friends including a couple of guides who had not seen them around 60 days ago.

All reports are good and the hooks have not been a problem, even on reds over 20 lbs - that said I can see if some guy is fishing 50lb braid and horsing a stud red on no drag, then maybe.

I did use some 'smelly jelly' on one Gold Vudu and it was fine. Just an fyi there.

Good luck to you and thanks for the great line of baits.

Where did the grumpy guy go????

I use procure shrimp gel with no problems on my Vudu's

10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish

I keep some on my center console, some in my tackle box, some in a front compartment, some in my fishing room in my house, some in my leaning post and some in my truck back seat.
I never had one melt yet.
Only issue I had was I lost a weight off of one.
I didn't have any issues with fish straightening out the hooks, but I have bent them trying to get them out of a Red's jaw.
I have caught a Black Tip Shark last week and didn't bend the hook.
None have ever broken off or slid up or downt he hook.
I have lost them due to broken lines or leaders.
I got a free bag of mixed colors last fall and still have them under my leaning post, chipping away at them one at a time, with no real issues yet.
You get your money's worth, cause they don't tear up.

All reports are good and the hooks have not been a problem, even on reds over 20 lbs - that said I can see if some guy is fishing 50lb braid and horsing a stud red on no drag, then maybe.


I guess they Changing them for no good reason then. I throw them on 10lb super slick and a med light rod and bent hooks on 15" trout. Any lighter rod and I'd have to use my sacalit poll. Guess I'm just a beast.

But that being said the light hook does yield easier penetration and with a light drag its fine especially for flounder. If they had a couple dif models it would solve a lot but you can't please everyone but egret tries like hell and that's awesome to me. Keep it up guys.

Glad you brought that up. A zip lock really is the best way to store them, so we are looking a really nice bag that way you can keep them in the bag safe from PVC. Good thinkin
