Description

Shad is a return to one of our proven, old-school colors, brought back with just a little more detail where it counts. Built on a complex aquatic grey base with subtle hints of blue and purple, Shad mirrors the natural iridescence of real baitfish as they turn and flash in current. It isn’t loud or overdone—just the right balance of tone, depth, and flash to look alive in the water and trigger fish that know this forage well. Shad is available in #250, #300, #402, #00, and #675, giving anglers a size for everything from river smallmouth to big predator fish that key in on shad schools. For anglers chasing powerful saltwater species, we’re also offering #00 and #675 with Gamakatsu hooks, built to handle striped bass, tarpon, and other hard-running fish. Care Instructions: Store dry and keep out of sunlight when off the water to ensure a long life for your lure. Do not store with rubber baits. Use caution when handling AC Shiners, sharp hooks mean more fish. Note: Each AC Shiner is handmade, making every lure unique, with slight variations in appearance and finish.

Field Notes

This is a surface shiner-style lure meant to imitate a baitfish on top. Use it around shad schools, current seams, and other situations where bass or other predators are feeding on small forage. A steady retrieve with occasional twitches should help it flash and look like a wounded shad.

Pros

  • Natural shad profile that matches common forage
  • Handmade finish with subtle flash and detail
  • Works for both freshwater bass and larger predator species

Cons

  • Best when fish are keyed on baitfish, so it may be less effective in non-forage situations
  • Surface presentation can be limited by heavy chop or deep fish
