552, Gizzard Shad Lure Posted by dolf5, Thu Mar-30-06 04:04 PM
Bass chase up to 10" gizzard shad in the small 15 acre pit I fish. Here is a lure I've been working on to toss out when they are chasing. What's everyone's favorite shad lure? I have a couple Castaic but they aren't very big at 5.5". This one is almost 7".

My favorite Shad lure would have to be your standard zoom super fluke on a swarming hornet jighead.

That one you made looks sick! Whats the action like? Ever consider selling anything like that? I'd love to get a blank of something identical to that. Looks like a good hitch profile as well. Nice work!

We will be coming out with the following lures by June...
Platinum 6" Gizzard Shad
Platinum 6" Threadfin Shad
Platinum 6" Baby Bass
Platinum 6" Hitch (Golden Shiner)
Platinum 6" Waterdog

All the bodies are true to form. The waterdog's even have the legs.

Hey Dolf, is that an "ATTIC" bait. if not who makes it and where did you get it??? thanks for the pic, I LOVE 'Big Crankbaits" !! Also, I caught a 3.5lb Smallmouth on Kentucky Lake during a club tourney sunday on a 5 inch Optimum Shad! --THANKS! -- Alex

I carved it. I finally did the balancing this weekend on my lake. It sits with it's back out of the water and swims 2-4' when cranked. I'm starting to draw up a bluegill pattern also. My lake has stained water (3' visibility) so I think these will work the best when the bass are chasing shad, around docks, and at night.
Thanks for the compliments.
