Missile Baits Announces Limited Release and Un-Release of the Shredder Jr.

Salem, VA – [October 13, 2025] Missile Baits is announcing a limited and unexpected farewell to their unique soft plastic, the Shredder Jr. The bait idea was a collaboration with Fish or Die Bait Company. After an extremely small initial production run, the custom mold used to create the bait was damaged beyond repair, making this one of the rarest Missile Baits ever made.

“The Shredder Jr. hit the water with amazing action and instant demand,” said John Crews, Missile Baits owner and professional angler. “Unfortunately, the mold is not functioning properly as we went into full production. Instead of scrapping it quietly, we’re making the short run available to fans who want a piece of Missile Baits history.”

Only a limited number of Shredder Jr. packs exist, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Missile Baits is calling this the brand’s first-ever “Un-Release” — a short-lived drop for collectors and diehard anglers alike.

“We’re as disappointed as anyone that the Shredder Jr. won’t be joining the regular lineup,” added Crews. “But we wanted to celebrate the bait’s brief moment in the sun and give our fans a chance to fish it or keep it as a collector’s item.”

The limited Shredder Jr. release will be available starting this week exclusively through select retailers and MissileBaits.com while supplies last. In the future, Fish or Die Bait Company will be selling small handmade runs of the Shredder Jr. periodically on their website at https://fishordiebaitcompany.com/.
