Does academy have corkys on the shelves yet?

[Gilbert]

I was at academy last night and the guy said people are always calling asking for them. They have shipments en route but they don't even know when they will get to the store. It also only showed two colors coming in. Dayglow and Pink I think is what he said.

I asked the guy at the gun counter the same thing and he said on the 15th "they said mid February, so check tomorrow".... I see everything else being restocked but no corkys... I bought the silver/chart tail devil and pink original floater.... took a while to figure out how to use the devil. Turns out, slow means really slow.... I actually caught my first trout on the devil when I was reaching in my pocket to look at my phone... Par for the course. I was kind of skeptical of the devil only having one hook. But man, I had the rod tucked between my arm and my side, I felt a bump and then a tug so hard it almost ripped the rod out... I am a skeptic no more!

But seriously, its almost painful how slow it has to be worked in the winter.

PLEASE READ:

Hey Guys have some info for you on the corkies...........


Don’t expect to find any for sale at local tackle shops. The manufacturer recently was acquired by another bait company, and modifications in manufacturing equipment were needed to start production.

I have not had an update on when they will be back on the market; however, I was told it would be early this year.

When I find out more I will post..........

FYI........ Corkies, now called Paul Brown Originals.

Saw some at the Pearland Academy....but they were $7 a pop!! Yikes!! Can you still get them straight from Mr. Brown for $5? Another thing I noticed is I clicked on the old corky website that I saved a while back under "my favorites" and it takes me to Mirolure's website. Did Mirolure buy him out or in partnership somehow?

This Academy also had lots of Devil Eyes and the new Brown Lure flappin devil...I think it's called...
