Description

Crafted by the original KGB Chad Shad lure designer, Kevin Brightwell, the KGB Swimbaits Chad Shad Glide Bait utilizes an updated resin construction to create the best-looking and highest-performing chopping-style glide bait in the world. Individually hand-tuned and tested to ensure superior quality and swim action, the Chad Shad excels with quick choppy cuts of the rod tip but also showcases versatility with super-slow reeling, lazy wide glides, or rapid burning retrieves. Custom hand-painted in a TW exclusive ‘Fancy Shad’ color pattern and available while supplies last, these ultra-realistic glides accurately mimic the most common baitfish across the country with oversized 3D eyes and a premium brush tail. Backed by heavy-duty split rings and razor-sharp treble hooks to ensure success with trophy bass, the KGB Swimbaits Chad Shad Glide Bait delivers smooth, stable, and controllable gliding action with the looks to back it up!

Field Notes

Best for trophy bass when you want a realistic baitfish profile and controllable glide action. Work it with sharp rod-tip chops for quick cuts, or retrieve it slowly for wide glides and a more natural presentation. It also handles faster burning retrieves when fish are active.

  • Versatile glide action from slow to fast retrieves
  • Hand-tuned and tested for consistent swim action

Cons

  • Premium price point
  • Requires a casting setup and some glide-bait experience
  • Best suited to anglers targeting larger bass
