The Strike King Shad-A-Licious Swimbait was one the baits KVD used to secure his fifth Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year at the Evan Williams Bourbon Trophy Triumph on the Alabama River in Montgomery, Ala. Kevin VanDam's two-day total of 30-06 was almost 8 pounds better than second-place Tommy Biffle, giving KVD the AOY title by a mere six points over Skeet Reese."One of my very best places was a super-shallow hard spot. That's where I caught them yesterday. I threw a Strike King Series 1 XS (crankbait) and Strike King Caffeine Shad (soft jerkbait). Today I fished the midriver with a Strike King Series 6 in sexy shad, and caught a couple on a Strike King 3 1/2-inch Shadilicious(swimbait) on a jighead." -Kevin VanDam, All-Time BASS Money Winner.

Comments: Strike King absolutly hit a home run with these swimbaits. I've only used the Green Gizzard Shad because of how well it imitates a whitebait aka pilchard and/or finger mullet. I'm a saltwater fishing guide and tournament fisherman and this bait has proven itself in both situations. It's won me tournaments and it has caught inexperienced fisherman very nice fish snook, redfish, trout, flouder...(list goes on) on my boat. The presentation needed is extremely simple and the fish can't resist it. I came up with my own way to rig it by taking advantage of the hollow belly and giving it that much more action! Hands down have to have this on the boat every time I'm out! Southern Sportsman Adventures says thank you Strike King!!

Comments: i bought some of these at a gander mountain because they were marked down and i wanted to try them and i was fishing for pike in a small creek. they were the most effective lure i have ever used period. my friend was using a chatterbait and he lured a few up and didnt bite his but as soon as my shad-a-licious came into its sight BAM! they all striked it within 2 feet of the bank

Comments: just to start it off, these are great hollow belly swim baits.i like to fish them weightless just beneath the  surface. It is very cool watching bass come up and follow the lure and then just crush it! my biggest this summer with them was a 4 pounder. the bass came up and t-boned it while i was by myself fishing from the shore.

Comments: These are great baits. Strike King has hit a home run with these babies. I use all three sizes of this bait, from 3.5 in. on up to the 5.5 in. size, but I use the 4.5 in. one the most often. If I am targeting kicker  fish I use the 5.5 in version. Sexy Shad in dingier water, and Blue Gizzard Shad in clear water. I catch a ton of fish with them. They're a great bait for following behind someone that is throwing a spinner bait. Absolutely awesome bait. I will ALWAYS have a rod out on the deck with one of these rigged and ready to go. They are that good.

Comments: The Shadalicious Hollow Bellies are very good, but I prefer a Basstrix Hollow Belly  rigged with a stinger hook. The Shadalicious do catch fish, though. Try a Rick's Top Shelf Swimbait sometime. All I carry are Basstrix, Jerry Rago and Rick's.

Comments: I use the 3.5" size only in sexy shad, blue and green gizzard shad. These baits work well in grass, lillies, in and around wood. I rig them on luck e strike 3/0 bellie  1/8 oz. weighted hooks on 20# power pro. This is an awesome bait and I've caught alot of fish on these.

From: Chuckster: Abita Springs, LA

Comments:  Decent soft swimbait, but Bastrix is better.  I've caught some fish with these, but Bastrix has better action and better color patterns.  As per my Bastrix review, try rigging these sideways for some fierce strikes.

From: Big J: Houston, TX

Comments:Same experience here with the 6.5 size. After numerous hooks, weights and allignments, lure still rolls a lot. Maybe smaller size is better? Dunno, first soft swimmer for me.

From:Jeremy: Westland, MI

Comments:Use 3/4oz 9/0,10/0 swimbait hook on 6.5" shad-a-licious.

Comments:I recently purchased these swimbaits and was very pleased. Won a club tournament October 10th at lake Seminole with 15lbs 3 oz., fishing in scattered grass. Shad and needlefish were bunched up in grass patches and this bait did a great job mimicking them. Worked very well with the Owner swimbait hooks. Very pleased with the bait and will be buying many more.

From:Keith: Valdosta, GA

Comments: Strike King has come up with a very good bait. The Smaller version of the SHAD-A-LICIOUS work very well and come in a very good selection of colors. However I have run into problems with the 6.5 size barrel rolling.The plastic is so soft and the paddle tail is so big it makes the bait spin in a barrel roll like.
