Some of these are Havoc baits and some are Power Baits. I finally got to see the Sick Fish in a tackle store yesterday, man they look awesome!

I know they wanted to keep the $2.99 price point on the Havoc, but 1 of the 5" Sick Fish per pack? Charge me $5 and give me two of them... Buying one at a time just seems kinda ridiculous.

Sure like the looks of the Rib Snake and Federale worm. Wish tacklewarehouse had the 7" version. Wonder why the Rib Snake cost so much more than the other Havoc baits.

The 3" sick fish would kill the river smallies!

I thought that was kind of strange too. They are packaged in clam shells but still in the regular Havoc packaging (at least the 4" are.) Maybe they couldn't fit more than 1 in the package.

The Rib Snake is a Powerbait worm, that's why it costs more. I like the looks of it too.

The Sick Fish is a sweet bait. I got a couple packs of the 4" ones in Green Penny and Chartreuse shad. I've caught almost 20 fish on the first green penny one and minus missing both eyes and a few scratches it's still a very usable bait. I don't know about the guys I've heard saying it doesn't work at slow speeds, I was fishing it extremely slow so it was contacting bottom on the retrieve when I was catching fish. It may not have as much wag as the Trash Fish but they still work really well.

A few of these new baits look pretty good but I just haven't seen anything come out of the Havoc line lately that is close to the Pitboss in my opinion. When the Havoc line first came out I was really impressed with both their designs and prices. Since that first year I have just kinda lost interest in them a little bit.

Have you checked out the powerbait theif? they look similar to the pit boss but slightly different. still a bever style bait.

There's something about the plastic formula they use in Havoc baits that I like. Soft yet tough.....just has a unique "feel" to it. I think if I was blindfolded and asked to feel 6 different baits I could easily pick a Havoc out of the lineup. Of course I used to say that about Grey Goose and got fooled by Relska

Yeah I have seen that bait, and it's a pretty good looking bug. I think I will pick up some of them before bed fishing time gets here.

I agree, the Havoc line has a much softer feel to it than the Powerbait line. I really like the action these baits have too, which is partly because of how soft it is. I'm not saying that their baits won't catch fish, I just have seen far fewer designs that I just have to have in the last year or so than I did when they first came out.
