This product is high quality. Can always count on a spook to catch em!

5 Darnell
The Bobby Garland Baby Shad is the greatest vertical crappie presentation ever thought up! Works best when used on a lighter jig head like a 1/16 or 1/32, and presented vertically around brush or other vertical cover. A great tip is to use as many different colors as possible, even lights out produces in clear water!

5 C G.
I 'll never use another plastic jig, other than the Bobby Garland options.... this Baby Shad is at the top of the list.... catches crappie with other baits wo n't!!!

5 Patrick C.
One of those lures that if you do n't have it then you need it. My BEST Night Fishing lure Hands down. IT 'S one of the best lures of any kind ever made. Catches fish day or night. I love being able to change up the speed of reeling it in and it changes the sound and action at the same time. Making it versatile and easy to use as long as you figure out how to fish it correctly. I 've been using it for about 40 years and I have 7 jitterbugs different colors and all sizes. And I have caught fish on all 7.

When it comes to fishing for bluefish in northern New Jersey, it ’s hard to find plastics that can last more than one bite from a yellow eyed devil dog. But man I am super happy zman came out with these jerk shads. Not only do they last more than one bite they will catch multiple fish with getting bitten in half. And the action is perfect. Fish can ’ t resist that twitching action.

Been using swimming flukes since they came out... have caught bass, snook, reds and speckled trout. Use them as a swimbait Texas rigged with a pegged bullet weight. Use them weightless worked real slow and easy, just twitch them or bring to the top and let them sink back down to the bottom or buzz them on top. You can go fishing with only this bait and always catch fish. Houdini is my favorite color... What a bait!!

5 BogMountain
I have switched to the Zoom Swimmin' Super Fluke as my `` go to '' bait for both small and largemouth bass fishing. They can be very effectively fished as a surface bait in very thick aquatic vegetation and are extremely effective when fished that way for largemouth bass. They can also be fished as a `` wake bait '' or fished more slowly as a subsurface bait. My favorite colors are Baby Bass, Pearl, and Houdini. You need to have several bags of these in your arsenal!

I have used this on flats, dock lights, and spillways for snook. It works extremely well with a loop knot. It is DOA, great quality. My only complaint is the ones with the green or yellow tail, lose the tail extremely easy, but you will catch more snook tHan you will lose tails.

This bait will catch it all from salt to fresh!!!! Also is a little more durable then the glup. Recommend using some type of scent like pro- cure

its a great lure. looks just like a bait fish and is worth the money because not only do they show there quality there is definetly quantity and is awsome weedless

I literally caught a trout on my first cast with this D. O. A Cal jerk bait. I rigged it with a 1/8 oz Jig Head and gave it a medium retrieve with frequent twitches of the rod.

The DOA soft jerk baits are my go to artificial baits when I 'm fishing for Spotted Sea Trout and Redfish. I use both the split- tail and paddle tail versions in various colors, including silver& black, Chartreuse, Rootbeer/Gold Glitter, and Glow. I use a weighted weedless hook for the split- tails and a 1/4 jig head for the paddle tails, and I can honestly say, they have never let me down. Usually, when nothing else 8s working, short of live bait, I can confidently switch over to a CAL Jerk bait, and 9 times out of 10 I will get a hit!! Highly Recommended!!

When the saucy swimmers came out, I thought, why not give them a try. I 'm glad did. Nothing is the scent something the fish seem to lock on to, they are extremely durable. I used to use strike king rage swimmers and they were decent, but if I can catch on 6- 7 fish per bait on average with the googan baits, versus 2- 3 with strike king its a no brainer. I live in Florida and electric shades is the color of choice for me. Buy them 3 packs at a time and save. Want to save more?

Amazingly though, the soft plastic on this bait holds up much better than the majority of Yamamoto's soft plastic offerings, as once properly glued, I have able to catch many fish, even the toothy varieties, without having to replace it; making...

Best chatterbait trailer I have found thus far. Good action, easy to rig, like the tail flange produces a quick narrow tail kick that matches the speed of a Jackhammer Chatterbait blade well. Good option, outside of a chatterbait trailer, not impressed... Chatterbait trailer 10/10

5 LukStagAut
I love this bait like most of Yamamoto's soft plastics as it is real fish catcher! I use it mostly as a trailer on my bladed jigs, buzz baits, and occasionally spinner baits in order to add a strong yet somewhat compact baitfish profile. The tail on this bait works at just about any speed and the available colors all exhibit fish appeal. Amazingly though, the soft plastic on this bait holds up much better than the majority of Yamamoto's soft plastic offerings, as once properly glued, I have able to catch many fish, even the toothy varieties, without having to replace it; making them worth the price.

Attached to spinnerbaits, jigs, even drop shots. This is a great product. Little enough to attach but big enough to run straight up. First time I have used this product and caught a good size bass running this on a 1/2 '' Chartreuse willow blade spinnerbait. Will buy again

5 PepperATC
Very pleased with this product. Service was great at Dicks

Use it a jig trailer or weighted hook and moves great.

Bought a couple colors for Texas rigs and flipping. Love the compact size to slip through the weeds.

First I ever threw a Carolina rig and it took a few casts before a small bass took this bait. It was a learning experience for me as a Carolina rig is different than any other rig I ’ ve used

I ’ ve only thrown this lure once so far; however, it sounds and swims exceptionally. I can not wait to do some really damage with this lure during Spring and Summer.

Great smaller size swimbait for finesse applications. Top notch components won ’ t find a higher quality one in this price range

5 LunkerHunter127
I have been looking around for this and was pleasantly surprised to find it at Dick's. Now I just need to get on the water to try it.

5 Pastor 4031
I bought this lure a few weeks ago and I am so glad I did, had many follows but no commitment, I guess do to the cold weather that we still have here in Chicago...

Frequently Asked Questions For Plastic Shad Bait

Plastic shad baits are designed to mimic the appearance and movement of shad, a common baitfish. They are primarily used for attracting predatory fish species such as bass, pike, and walleye. Anglers often use these baits in various fishing techniques, including casting, trolling, and jigging, making them versatile for different fishing environments.

Plastic shad baits are typically made from soft or hard plastic materials that are durable and flexible. Soft plastics often feature a lifelike texture and action in the water, while hard baits may have a more rigid construction for a different swimming action. The choice of material can affect the bait's performance, including its buoyancy and how it interacts with water currents.

Choosing the right size of plastic shad bait depends on the target fish species and the local forage size. Generally, larger baits are used for bigger fish, while smaller baits are effective for panfish and smaller predators. It's also important to consider the fishing conditions, such as water clarity and temperature, as these factors can influence fish behavior.

Plastic shad baits can be effectively used with various fishing techniques, including Texas rigging, drop shotting, and jigging. Each technique allows the bait to present differently in the water, attracting fish in unique ways. Experimenting with different retrieval speeds and patterns can help determine the most effective method for your fishing situation.

Yes, plastic shad baits can be effective in both freshwater and saltwater environments. In freshwater, they are commonly used for species like bass and trout, while in saltwater, they can attract larger predatory fish such as striped bass and redfish. The versatility of plastic shad baits makes them a popular choice among anglers targeting various species.
