I'm impressed with the paint job on the RS bait, and the quality of it overall. i got the "bluegill" color pattern, but as you can see it doesn't look like any bluegill i have ever seen and really more closely resembles a perch. They do have a glass perch pattern but I thought this looked a little better. It's only got one hook not 2 like the TT baits, but the single VMC hook is a lot bigger and thicker in gauge than the TT hooks to, so I'm going to feel a lot more comfortable throwing this thing in lakes with big pike in them. Another touch i like is the huge eyes on the RS Shads.
The Reaction Strike Revolution Shad comes in 3 fall rates: float, slow sink, and fast sink. I also prefer this over the TT baits because I don't have to worry about messing with those tiny, tiny tungsten balls. There is no way i could see myself trying to add/remove those things in a boat on the water without losing them. With the RS baits you choose which one you want and go for it. Also of note is the RI baits are a few bucks cheaper than the TT baits. For my money they are a pretty good deal. I would probably buy a few more of these before i bought any more TT baits, although my tune could change once i get them both wet.
