Be aware that this is going on and when you receive your order paint scheme may not be what you wanted. My team partner just received our latest order and the schemes are different, mostly shades of color and the bellys being different all together, in a responce from an email sent to them they quikly called and said ship them back and they will fill the order with older stock, as they informed him there will be lots of change as they are getting them painted in Mexico. So if you have a favorite scheme, stock up now.

To be clear, Reef Runner paint colors vary from lot too lot, they are all 100% hand Painted. They have always varied, no matter where they are painted.

All XTackle Custom colors are painted on the same Reef Runner lines in the USA, that XTackle Custom colors have always been painted on (9+ years). Some of the standard colors move to Mexico several years ago. We’re sorry you are disappointed with the variations, and we did offer to your partner, to search our inventory for darker color baits and swap them out. (they would different baits not older inventory).

Again we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Ed Fiore,
Xtackle

Too be clear, issue was resolved with said order, asap, this is always the case with Xtackle orders in the past, greatly appreciated, post was more so to indicate that shades of color are one thing, like "confusion" can be copper or gold, both will work but one will out do the other on a given day. When the bellys of the bait are not even close to the color thier supposed to be is a big difference in catching fish, since walleyes feed up and thats what thier looking at . So if theres a change cuz of where the bait is being painted then i would want to stock up.
