The shad-style body was designed by saltwater guides and uses multicolor laminates to reflect against each other and create the illusion of live bait. Great vibrating swimming action. Per 3. Size: 5". Colors:(002)Herring, (005)Anchovy, (112)Senorita, (353)Rainbow Smelt.
The Berkley 5" Hand Pour Shad is a rather fat shad with its unrigged weight of 3/4 oz (20 gr). Its smell calls salted dried cod to my mind. Rigged with a jighead, it casts very well, and the tail movements are flawless even on very slow retrieve. I prefer fishhead-style jigheads with this bait, but it runs just as well with other jighead styles. 1/2 oz jigheads work perfectly in still water, in strong current I use 1 oz.
I used these baits on a recent trip to Canada. They out preformed just about everything in my box. I should have bought more the northerns tore them up pretty well. They worked great on both walleye and northern pike I will definitely buy them again.
I ordered these like most others have after watching doug stange use them on the in-fisherman shows. paired them with the kalins saltwater bullet jigs. The baits seem to be two different pieces glued together, and when you rig them on a jig, the bait splits right down the seam where the colors meet. Don't know if it is because they are the new hand-pour kind or what, but they split apart way too easy. Will try super glueing them, but its pretty bad that you have to glue them before you even use them.
