Comments: I bought this bait with high hopes for a quality Swimbait but I took it out yesterday and it didn't swim right at any speed it kept rolling on its side. I searched for reviews on the internet and came across an article by Tackle Tour going over the bait. It seems as though they are having a recall on this bait and asking for people who bought it fill out a form online and submit a picture and Berkley would send out a replacement in August. This is unfortunate but I commend Berkley for being transparent and doing the right thing. This is how you keep your customers happy by stepping up to the plate and making it right. Good job Berkley. If you have one of these baits you must complete the form before the end of July to receive a replacement

Comments: Before anyone gets too up in arms about this bait, Berkley is doing a recall on the first batch due to problems in manufacturing and they're doing free replacements. There are details on the Berkley website about how to get your Cullshad replacement, but I believe you have to get your request in by July 31st.

Comments: I have to say I am pretty disappointed in this swimbait. Just tested it out today and it swims horrible. The only way I can keep it from rolling over is to reel it really fast and then it will right itself but then you have no control to get it deeper. Reel it slow and it will swim on its side. I examined the bait to see if it had a defect but nothing stood out. I am amazed Berkeley would put out a product this bad.
