Description

The Rad Shad is a 7" (from nose to tail) glide bait that really knows how to play nice. I started out to test this bait this spring and it quickly earned a spot to be tied on just about whenever I head out on the water. You can chop it, swim it fast or slow and it has a very wide lazy glide. I caught a lot of big bass and even a very big pike on it so far this season. I did have days where I used this bait to locate fish that would only follow and I later came back and caught a couple of them. These were fish that I otherwise would not have known they were there and would not have come back for them without the Rad Shad glidebait finding them for me. Whether you are experienced fishing glide baits or new to the style this is the perfect glidebait. Anyone with experience will be able to get so much from this glide bait and for those who are new this is an easy glidebait to work with. Someone new to glide baits will be able to fish this bait right from the door. And since it only weighs 1.3 ounces you don't need any heavy specialized equipment to fish it. Get some before they are gone. NOTE: Each bait is hand painted in the order they are received. I make every effort to ship the baits within 3 days of receiving the order, however during the busy season it can take up to 5 to 8 business days to ship the baits. In most cases they do ship within 3 days, I never want to make anyone wait but I do to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes.
