California Swim Jig

Hey, Marshal!

Thanks so much for your honest feedback. We really struggled with the decision to change the head color on Citrus Shad. The color is used to come with was a custom light blue paint that wasn't used in any of our other paint schemes. It matched dead on! We decided this year to prioritize our products availability and production time lines, which sometimes comes down to making difficult decisions. In the case of Citrus Shad, we realized we either needed to stop making the color all together, or we could swap out the head for our Blue Glimmer color, which we paint several times a week. It was not a decision we took lightly, but we felt folks would rather have the color in that form than not at all.

Blue Glimmer still requires the same number of passes in the paint booth (prime, 2 coats white, airbrushed blue, blue pearl, and then 2 coats of clear), but it is more universal. All that to say, it is still a high end paint finish! I know it is frustrating when things change.

As for the skirt, I could say much of the same. Hand-tying skirts would likely cut our production in half if not more, making the product very hard to come by. Instead, we make replacement skirts cheaply available for 5.99 per pack of 5!

Again, truly appreciate your feedback, and value your judgement. Just thought it also deserved a response!
