Looking for YUM Dinger in Ottawa

Went to LB yesterday and could not find the smoke perl 5" YUM dinger anymore.
Could anyone please tell me if there is any store selling YUM Dinger in Ottawa area?
Just found it SO effective for bass fishing, suddenly out of supply

Not sure about those specific colours but Als in Galetta usually has a good selection of YUM baits.

Paddletales, Bennetts and Baitcasters all have them. Give them a call.
LB has been out of stock since the beginning of July.
Cheers,
Mike

Wal Mart has them, I used them for my first time this weekend and they were deadly

Interesting choice of words...deadly...as was mentioned in the Senko post, wacky/weightless texas rigging can prodcue some deeply hooked fish...I had one this morning and I stop using the bait...Still caught fish using other techniques. I will still use this technique but will be extra careful in the future to try and pick up hits as soon as possible to try and prevent deeply hooking the bass.

Thanks for help!
Actually I bought the first pack from LB last Thursday. There were some left at that time. Because I never caught any fish with soft plastic lure, I only picked one color, it worked so well that I couldn't believe.
Checked the stores metioned above, seems a little bit far from Kanata.
I went to Wal Mart in Kanata, they do have YUM Dinger in stock, but in 7" size. Is it too big?
jig head, could you tell me which size of Dinger you found in wal mart?

We still have a good selection of YUM Dingers in stock. Don't have the smoke/pearl in the 5" size but do have a similar colour in the Wave Worm version. We've got a 20 foot wall of senko type baits - I'm sure you could find something you'd like. I don't mind bringing them into Kanata for you - you can check out our website for colours or give me a call. Definitely one of the most popular baits for the last couple of years!

Walmart usually only carries the Dingers in 7" and even then I've only seen them carry the Carolina Pink w/ chartreuse tip and maybe one other colour. But hey, what can you expect from a big box store anyway...
someone, if you only tried the one colour and it worked extremely well why not give other colours a shot? One day the fish like smoke pearl depending on water clarity/weather, you may do just as well on another colour in the same body of water... just a thought...

yes, I bought 7" Dinger instead, according to JH's suggestion.
I'm wondering if I can cut it in half if the fish is too small to swallow it.
Thank you baitcaster for your kind offer. BTW, do you know if we can rent a boat at MISSISSIPPI LAKE? I've never been there before.
Good luck everyone!

I saw a few bags 5" YUM Dinger left in Lebaron today (7:30pm).
