Oh Vixen, how I miss thee

When most people think of the word "vixen" they think of it as a term used to describe women. I, on the other hand, think of a topwater bait named the Vixen made by Reaction Innovations. The Vixen was made in two sizes, a 3.5" and a 4.5". I currently own five of these beautiful baits (one 4.5" and four 3.5'"s), but like any angler would prefer to have more.

 The bait easily walked the dog with the greatest of ease, in a tight, seductive action. This bait has accounted for tons of largemouth and striper for me personally, including this striper taken at DVL during a foamer:

Sadly, Reaction Innovations stopped making this bait a few years ago. Paycheck baits did acquire the mold though, and now produces the bait under the name "Repo Man." The originals are hard to come by, and when they are found usually go for $30 or more.
