phaaker Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I fish in a lot of places where there is a shad base. It has been doing exceptionally well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaaker Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 It rides point down. I fish it with a few short hard strips then let it sink. It is not keeled well and on a steady retrieve will ride point down, but with the hard jerky retrieve it may roll to its side adding to the dying shad look. Recipe: Hook- B10s size 1 or 1/0 VMC Extra Wide Gap Offset - testing to see which I like best Rear hook- any shank cut to 3/4-1 inch (After the back half is tied) Back- 1/8 Rabbit strip (Chincilla is shown but white and striped olive are my best producers) Belly- senyo ice dubbing in white but on clump by clump and brushed out Lateral line - two yellow rubber legs and lateral line flash in black over pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
