Bull Shad Swimbaits Fast Sinking

About the Fast Sinking Bull Shad

Despite numerous bait makers producing high quality trout imitations, there was a void in the big bait market for shad swimbaits. When the Bull Shad Swimbaits Fast Sinking was first released, the best alternatives were trout profile lures with shad coloration, in stepped Mike Bucca a Georgia angler who witnessed magnum spotted bass feeding on Gizzard shad as big as 9" long. His creation the Bull Shad has become one of the top big baits for catching trophy bass in the Southern United states. There are now a total of four sizes, three colors and two sinking rates for the shad style swimbait.

How to Fish the Fast Sinking Bull Shad

From Triton Mike Bucca
The Bull Shad Swimbaits Fast Sinking versions are available only in the 5" and 6" models of both Gizzard Shad and Threadfin Shad.not everybody has 7" & 8" shad in the waters they fish or having no experience with big swimbaits, they lack the confidence to throw the big stuff. The 5" Bull Shad really shines on schooling fish whether it be bass, or smaller hybrids or white bass. The slow sinking version of the 5" Bull Shad is specifically designed to be fished with a slower retrieve and typically right on top of the water to imitate a fleeing shad. The 6" slow sink you can work at semi slow to fast retrieves. For equipment I recommend a 4 power rod such as the Dobyns Champion 734C, any reel should be suitable, just adjust the speed at which you turn the handle for the reel's gear ratio. Personally, I always recommend fishing heavier line than necessary because you definitely don't want to break off the baits, nor do you ever wanna lose a trophy sized fish. Especially because striped and white bass love these things too.

Picasso Special FX Shock Blade
 
Our friends at Monster Fishing Tackle have just received the new Picasso Special FX Shock Blade. This new vibrating jig is hand tied using 100% natural buck tail and a mix of premium feathers. Picasso utilized the extent of their resources when designing the new Special FX Shock Blade - including the finest materials available today - no synthetics were used on this lure. The result of their labors is a unique action never before found in a bladed jig; it is sure to attract bass that otherwise would be difficult to catch. Like the original version, the Picasso Special FX Shock Blade incorporates a patent-pending design that keeps the lure down in the water column without rising up toward the surface. Instead, the Shock Blade maintains it's plane even when retrieved at high rates of speed.
The Picasso Special FX Shock Blade displays a hard thumping vibration that creates a real hunting action at all speeds. The lure possesses a very tight/quick action and vibration that can be "burned" or "ripped" in order to change up the standard straight retrieve and play upon bass's curiosity. Constructed around Picasso's popular Smart Mouth Plus jig head with its concave belly that gives an added “wobble” action that fish can’t resist. The Special FX Shock Blade is built around a 3X Strong 5/0 Mustad Ultra Point hook that assures strong, secure hook penetration when fish strike. An excellent assortment of detailed colors really sets this bladed swim jig apart from others on the market today.
