I found a stash of old school emp minnows, these differ from the new ones due to the lip, I doped these up. and can flash these lures like the real deal.
when i dope them up as they need to be as the hooks cant handle large fish, and it alters the action alittle bit due to the vmc's weight.
they produce and have there spot in time, i like the mag series also an the emper series.
I have a wall of plastic and it all gets used and iffems i need a plug
Im buying it cause Im Awsome

I received a reply from Paul Michele of Yo-Zuri. Here's what it said...

Robert,
We received and read your email. Where did you hear this information? It is not entirely true. Also if you like and sell our products do to personal and consumer demand why do you feel it is necessary to drop the entire line? Even if it is a 5% increase you make that much more product on an item that already sells….

I would certainly like to hear more from you and your opinion.

I deleted the response I got last month from Yo Zuri but the answer I got said the increase was true & due to price of the internal balls, and the rep apologized for the increase but said it was necessary.

I got the same response from him word for word.
I showed him were the increases were. And he did not deny it. The facts are the whole line up did only go up 60% just the mags. Most other saltwater lures took a 22%-30% increase. The freshwater lures only took a 5% jump.
