Just received my last order on May 18, 2010. They send the order out and one of their distributors has filled it every time. What I'm ordering from Berkley is the "K and P's JIG MINNOW KIT" that contains four 4" & four 3" smelt or black shad power minnows. Get them from Berkley while you can. I'm looking forward to trying the other combination you mentioned - 3/16 ounce with the 4" minnow. I had been using the other combination of 1/8 ounce and the 3" minnow that you mentioned above. I didn't know that a 4" minnow even existed until ordering the kits off the website. The newer power minnows are more like the generic fluke shapes and don't have eyes and the same level of detail or quality that the older ones had. Webguy,

Glad to hear that you have been able to stock up on the realistix, and you named the two most productive colors for sure. There is no more close to me anymore to be had. I have been eye-balling that new 4" ripple whatever by Berkley for this season, should do well on the scrounger. Thanks for the reply Jay.

I've managed to stock up a bit on Berkely PB realistix minnows, but am also trying other brands for that day when Berkely decides to end production of the realistix minnows. I fully expect that many of the other brands of soft plastic minnows/jerkbaits work just as well with the scrounger.
