I'm a little dissapointed… they originally said 6" and now it's 7". Maybe it's just the photo but I really don't see the point but I'll have to see them in person before making a real judgement. I wish they would have spent the R&D time on a 6" and 10" Triple D!

I don't see much difference either but I don't use the regular hellhound anyways so it's not a huge deal to me. And Will, you and jlong need to start a petition on the musky sites to get the 10" DDD in the works cause ERC doesn't seem to be listening now [smilie=biggrin.gif]

Jason had a major hand in the design of the DDD, you would think they would listen to him. My opinion doesn't matter at all…

I would prefer a smaller at the most be 6'' long, 7 is still too much considering the original is 8

I got some of these Rapala Subwalks in the large and medium size at a stupid low clearance price ($4.88 each) at Cabelas a few weeks ago. They look alot like a Hellhound but come smaller. I am going to take some to FL in a few weeks to see how they look in the water but they might be good. I wish ERC would make a 12" or bigger Hellhound….

I'm with Willbur… I don't see the point of a one inch difference. As it is, Hellhounds are not "big baits", and work just fine in the early season.

I wasn't impressed with either of the new rapala baits that came out last year. There's just something not quite right with them but I haven't messed with the subwalk or the glidin rap to see if I could resolve the problems (or destroy them… which is more likely).

Gliders are really weird and a pain in the butt to get running just right. I've got an 8" slammer drop belly that is awesome and also have an 8" slammer db that is junk. Talking with Bill Schwartz in Chicago he only made a few and they were such a pain in the butt that he doesn't even want to mess with them again… one would be great and the next five would be junk. He said I was really lucky to have one that worked well.

I agree that the Hellpuppy should be 6" instead of 7. Where did this 10" DDD come from? This is an awesome idea. I would love to see a 12" Hellhound too.

If ERC were to start over with the Hellhound design, a 7" and 9" would be my suggestion.

How about writing a letter to ERC, with Jlong's blessing regarding the creation of the "new 10" DDD".

I emailed them and they said Mid February so it should be soon and I would just order them direct off the website. I am only going to get 1 or 2 in the beginning to see how they look in the water.

I have a sub walk.. The smaller ones for bass are killer. But will is right, its really wierd and you have to have a really specific rod type to get it working properly. I have to use one of my lighter musky rods to get it working ok. Most leaders cause it to lose its action. I cannot get them to work right at all if they have any kind of a leader on the smaller sub walks.

Had a lot more muskies go after the smaller version than anything else.
