I forgot to add, YES like most tackle junkies on here I bought a couple of the new ones, just not the Canadian Flag
The are plastic and have a scale pattern/gill ridge molded into the body. I was impressed with the action and they did sweep way out right and left like the old ones do, but never really ran them for any length of time so no fish on them so far. I keep looking at those kits and will have to do that this year.
I love my little 2" for lakers up north
