And i've seen their old hooks bend on a 2lb sheephead and my buddy lost a 5lb trout on one cause the hook bent. Im glad they decided to upgrade their hooks good move by egret

I made a order today from Egret bits and they were out of stock on the Vudus. When will they be available again? I'd like to try some?

Well they ain't changing the hooks on hear say alone and a few e mails. So obviously they had some issues and are right on top of it so good deal.

I like it.

No company has ever existed that didn't have an issue with there product, what separates companies is their willingness to act on deficiencies and ability to correct those issues. Egret seems to be right on it, I wish more companies would be like this!

Yep, you never get it right the first time. You have to listen to your customers and make the changes. Seems like they have done that

I never bent a hook with Trout yet. Lost a VUDU today that caught close to 100 fish this week. Leader broke.
I have had bent hooks on Redfish. But they bend right back. I like fishing with light tackle and light lures. Makes for a better battle when hooking up with dinks.

No scent, maybe the smell of trout! Always store you Vudu in separate bag or box away from PVC plastics.

So far, what we have found out is simple. You can't get the shrimp near other plastic. Shrimp are made from TPE same material used in flip flops and thousands of household products. PVC is used to make most soft plastics. PVC will melt and get gummy in the sun. It will leach oils and gases into a closed box like a plano tray. If Vudu are in that tray, the may melt. Best bet is to store Vudu in zip lock worm proof bag. Just save your old bags, wipe them clean from oil and your should be ok.

What about packaging the Vudu's in their own "ziplock" style bag? Attached to the cardboard backing card. Then you can just throw it in the tackle box, tray, or bag like that. Then have instructions on the card of how to handle. It's a great product and I'd hate to see bad experiences with the product because of melting hurt the business because of word of mouth.

I keep mine in the package it sold in and drop it in with all the other plastics. No problems so far.
