Offered in multiple colors and sizes, the 13 Fishing – Coalition Bait Co. BAMF Shad Swimbait is exactly what you need to put bigger fish in your livewell.
Comments: I bought Golden Retriever, and the color is not quite what I aspected. It's not bad, but just different. I did not have a 6/0 hook, so I attempted to use a 5/0 1/8oz Owner. I'd highly recommend going with the 6/0 that is recommended, and possibly even go with the VMC that is recommended on the package, as that's what the hook slot was molded to fit. If you're gonna try it, you really need an extra extra wide gap, because of the height of the bait. You may even want to bend the hook point up, because the hook tries to point back down into the bait. 1/8 oz was not heavy enough to keep the bait from rolling over. I'd likely try 1/4 or 1/2oz in the future.

Comments: Tested this once and it should be mentioned that this bait requires a pretty quick retrieve to impart any action. If you're looking for something to slow roll deep try something else. Definitely more of a specific conditions bait than an all around workhorse.

Comments: Big baits catch big fish. The detail put into the BAMF Shad doesn't go unnoticed by bass. I have multiple colors in the 5.25 in size and the bass absolutely hammer them. I vary my retrieve between bouncing it off the bottom moving it pretty slow and a medium steady return with a few pauses in my retrieve. I also have the 8 inch BAMF Shad and have got strikes on it but haven't caught anything on it yet. The action on the baits replicate a shad swimming perfectly. I highly recommend that you use the 6/0 Owner Beast hook for the 5.25 inch BAMF Shad and the 12/0 Owner Beast hook for the 8 inch BAMF Shad. I have had lots of success on the 5.25 version of the BAMF Shad and look forward to hooking into a giant on the 8 inch BAMF Shad because it's going to happen. This bait is durable and the details of the bait are very life like. This is what they mean when they say "match the hatch".

Comments: These bait definitely work well. the eyes did pop out but it seems one popped out and it left a holographic piece behind. so it actually looked good still. i do recommend installing the keepers it come with and put one in the nose across the screwlock and one at under the hook up top as the plastic in the hook channel tears.
From: Chris: Dallas 7/17/20
Comments: You will need a weighted hook to use these. I tried a 6/0 weightless hook because the 5.25in are 1oz baits and all it did was float on the top.
From: Unknown: 3/9/20
Comments: Just picked some of these up, they seem soft but durable. The 8" pairs perfectly with a 12/0 owner beast and they have included pins that will keep the screwlock in the nose. The hook slot is huge but has enough grip on the shank of the hook to be pretty weedless. Will update this review if something goes terribly wrong.From: Ethan: Jasper 12/9/19
Comments: In case you are interested in the BAMF Shad, I contacted 13 Fishing and they replied that the 8" shad body is 3.5 ounces and the 5.25" shad body is 1 oz. According to the pro in the video on this site, the Owner Beast hook is what is recommended for this lure. He says 12/0 for the 8 inch version, but did not say what size is needed for the 5.25 inch version, so I asked 13 Fishing and they said 6/0.From: Cliff: Canton, KS 9/11/19
