Looks like Raptor has been replaced with Esp Cryogen gripper Dave.

Seems a typical case of " if it's not broken etc etc..." Graham.
Manufacturers seem to have to chop and change perfectly good products with a mind to reinvigorating the brand every now and then. Certain boilies come immediately to mind.
I did buy some grippers last season but was unable to get my favoured size 9s ( not available) and I also preferred the gun metal teflon grey of the raptors in the D-7 pattern.
The gripper size 8s looked very conspicuous when laid next to a grey raptor 9 .
Luckily I think,... hope,.. I can still buy the Fox Arma sssp equivalent which I have also liked for some years especially for hair rigged casters in 10s.
Fussy ol fa*t I know,.. but it's a confidence thing!:D
