Is there going to be much difference between these and the Elite Evo minimax Tackle Warehouse just announced as an exclusive?

Yes. The Baby Jack seems like a more finesse, lighter hooked version, using a 3/0 Decoy hook. The TW Exclusive Evo Mini Max has a BKK hook that says to be heavier wire than the initial Mini Max.

For the record I have tried neither, just speculating from what everyone has stated and what the specs claim.

EDIT: Now I have ordered both and checked them out, the EVO Mini Max has a smaller, stouter 2/0 hook. I swore I read the TW Evo Mini Max had a BKK hook but cannot find that now. Looking forward to fishing after all this flooding and post results...
