206 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I missed the boat/fishing show this past weekend where apparently X-zone lures have been re-introduced, now owned by VRX Fishing Product (The Rod Glove)? Anyone have any info? Sounds like good news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #1 Drop Shot bait, the Slammer, is back. We are proud to say that we had a very successful product line reintroduction at the Toronto Spring Boat and Fishing Show this past weekend. The support from anglers that have come to trust X-Zone lures over the years was tremendous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUMP KNOWS Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I saw them at the show but I didn't realize it was them at the time. I got the booth confused with another company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I hope Mark did alright with the deal on selling X-Zone. He put a lot into that business and developed a great product. Plus he's a super nice guy. Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floren Lukatsky Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 yes Mark still makes the product but he doesn't own it. i imagine majority of the specialty shops will be carrying the product as they were before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I had a package of original Swammers without the paddle tail and they worked very well for me. I'm going to stock up for sure. Great news. Anyone recommend a specific X for Smallies? I'm thinking leech's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddickulous Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I spoke to them at the Show, they mentioned they will be hand pouring the lures, resulting in a softer plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I spoke to them at the Show, they mentioned they will be hand pouring the lures, resulting in a softer plastic. Mark Im pretty sure, hand poured his baits. If anyone see,s the shiver shad out any where, please let me no PLEASE. TY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Too little, too late imo. Many similar products that have taken over the market. Anglers choice sniper shads are all that is in my box now.More action than the swammer too... Edited February 23, 2016 by Thrilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglers choice sniper shads are all that is in my box now.More action than the swammer too... For me, it's about access. I am not paying $15.00 for shipping. I was able to find X-Zone products all over, but the others...not so much. I'd buy them if I could find them and there are plenty out there being made. Although, looks like Anglers Choice products are in a lot of stores, I'll have to go and see if I can find them. I doubt it's too late at all if they maintained the same vendors. I even came across some Strike Zone slammers at the Boating show last weekend! Edited February 23, 2016 by adempsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUMP KNOWS Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 X Zone Lures Yesterday at 1:01pm · X Zone Lures Alert!As many of you know, X Zone Lures was off of the market for about 18 months. Recently, we, VRX Fishing Products, have purchased X Zone Lures from the previous owner and creator, Mark Kulik. It is our intention that we work closely with Mark and bring this product back to the market as True Hand Poured lures.We want want to honor Mark and his legacy of this truly incredible line of baits. After a very successful launch last week, we were alerted to the fact that someone was going out to retailers and individuals and offering fake X-Zone products in X Zone Lures packaging. While we can not stop people from duplicating our bait shapes, we can not tolerate someone using our packaging and brand name as that is trademarked in both the USA and Canada. This is a very unfortunate situation but we will get through it. I urge you not to purchase these fake products if they offered to you in X Zone packaging. These products are not hand poured and in no represent the quality of a True Hand Pour bait that we are offering to the market. We will be releasing our products to credible retailers in early May of this year and we look forward to serving you as fans of the X Zone Lures brand. I appeal to your sense of integrity in this matter and I want to thank you for your support of the X Zone Lures brand. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
