Nicknamed the ‘Prototype’ by big bass hunter and Team 6 member Josh Jones, the 6th Sense Panorama Shad brings cutting-edge innovation and realism to a new bait category that’s soon to become a staple in the industry. Designed to be the most realistic and universal soft plastic baitfish imitation, the Panorama Shad was originally built for forward-facing sonar fishing on a drop shot but excels with a variety of rigging methods thanks to its uniquely thin profile.
A bait that has accounted for over half of Josh’s double-digit catches within the past year, Josh describes the profile of the Panorama Shad as a combination of a swimbait and spoon and says he hasn’t found a technique that this bait hasn’t worked on. He prefers to throw the 5” size on a drop shot with spinning gear and live sonar, power shot the 6.5” size and flip cover with a 4/0 Texas-rig hook, and Texas rig the 9” size with an 11/0 hook and pegged 1/2oz weight fishing it on the bottom much like a spoon.
The innovative and incredibly realistic body design is poured using the perfect plastic consistency that allows the Panorama to have fluid movement in the water no matter how you choose to rig it. Available in highly realistic paint schemes and different size presentations, the 6th Sense Panorama Shad provides anglers with endless rigging options whether you’re fishing from the bank, dragging bottom, or chasing suspended fish on forward-facing sonar.
Panorama 6.5I don’t know why this bait gets so much hate. This is a great bait for ponds and lakes, it is extremely versatile. I think the main reason people don’t like it is because they don’t know how to rig it. My favorite way is on a axle jig head but I have found recent success flipping it on a BKK armor point permoloc hook.

Ghost Pro Shad color is incorrect in TW PicThe smell is absolutely too strong and not related to a normal plastic bait smell. This could be a fish deterrent.
The TW Pic for the Ghost Pro Shad color is incorrect as when I received this it's a pink hue to the bait and not a greenish/blue color that I expected from the pic.

trashI bought the 3.5in and was very dissapointed. These were very expensive and had no action. I Texas rigged it, rigged it on a jig head, dropshot, still nothing. save your money.

Live Bluegill 3.5Bait looks incredible. I understand the comments on durability but it’s a soft plastic in the end…plus the softness is what gives it the great action. So for that A+. But man, the smell of this lure. You’re telling me this bait made it all the way to production and they never considered the smell? Does scent matter? Of course scent matters - why do anglers use live bait and if it’s packaged - choose bait with the most oils and freshness…I have to believe the crazy awful smell is a disadvantage. Kind of at a loss on that aspect.

Not my favorite to say the least..I have never had a bass eat this and I’d pick a Kietech over this any day. You can’t use it like a fluke on a drop-shot the hookup ratio is bad and it just won’t get bit. This is one of those baits that catch the fisherman not the fish.

9 inch is very uniqueThis 9 inch version is very lifelike and has a great flutter on the fall. You'll need a huge hook to rig it, I'm ordering a 12/0 swimbait hook. I fish it weighted but might experiment with a weightless owner beast hook in the shallows and in creeks. However, Tackle Warehouse NEEDS to get the "Live Bluegill'' color. It's available on other sites like fishusa, and in my opinion that bluegill color would be the best color choice for the waters most anglers fish. For the smell, yes it reeks of acetone. But if you soak the lure in ziploc bag with scent for a couple days, that tremendously helps. I haven't gotten bit yet using the 9 inch but I'm confident that will happen soon. It's not the most durable and the paint doesn't last insanely long but I still think it holds great value, especially when purchased on sale.

Strong Chemical/Acetone SmellThis smeels like the chemical section of a pool store. Awful awful smell. Tried for hours and nothing even touched the bait. Cathces more fisherman than fish. Stay away.
