Vudu Shrimp Hook Strength Video
Just figured I'd post this video to try and help Vudu's battle against the H2O (Academy) d'bags. Fought a big nasty bull red on a "New & Improved" purple/chart Vudu for about 8 minutes. Hook stayed strong and Vudu was in perfect condition after landing the beast. Took a pic and let her go. I like supporting the small, and local, businessman....so should you. Have a good week fellas!

What's the battle with Academy? They carry the Egret Bayou Chubs and Wedge tails, correct?

Yeah they do but they made a knock off version of the Vudu Shrimp called a "Mojo Shrimp" and are selling it under the H2O brand. Not really a battle but just shady business done by the big man.

I've caught about 20 or so big sailcats plus a big bull red that was plus 30" on I think the old Vudu shrimp hooks, and I haven't had a problem. I just loosen up my drag a little more than normal and let them run.

Not many bait compays are made in US anymore...just like everything else you can't compete with overseas labor prices. I tried out the vudu with the new hook on some redfish,held up fine.

Did anybody really think people weren't going to knock the Vudu off? Anything that's successful is going to have H&H or Academy (H2O house brand I'm assuming) or Bass Pro Shops copy and offer it at a discount a year later.

Yep, I heard it was a design they found in the far east. Credit to them for spotting it, doing their due diligence and putting it in the market.
