Description

The "Money Shad"... A simple but highly effective color-way that will catch you more fish and cash you more checks! The magic of this color-way happens the moment it gets submerged in water as the strategic placement of paint collide in series of realism and flash as the bait presents color shifting angles and multiple tempting profiles while being worked on the retrieve. The more erratic you get with your retrieve, the more effective it becomes as the soft hues of blue and chartreuse dance together while the bottom belly side presents a contrasting semi-transparent Alpine Pearl white that gets highlighted with a spark of light copperish overtones at the tail. These colorations are constantly blending, shifting, clashing as each movement and angle of the bait manipulates itself in the water column which in turn elicits a triggered response from a curious bass and all you're left to do is... SET THE HOOK! A simple color-way at the surface yet a complex and intricate medley of variety under the water... It does all the work for you. Don't get "caught" without one!

Field Notes

Use this as a surface bait with an erratic retrieve to trigger reaction strikes from bass. It is best worked over calm to lightly rippled water, especially around low-light periods when fish are willing to rise. The color description suggests it is designed to flash and shift as it moves, making it effective when fish are tracking a bait from below.

Pros

  • Surface presentation for reaction bites
  • Color-shifting flash and contrast
  • Works well with an erratic retrieve

Cons

  • Likely less effective in heavy chop
  • Surface baits can be missed if fish are short-striking
