Comments: great lure, amazing action but the hairs on the tail fall out alot

Comments: Love this little swimbait! Rainbow trout imitates many types of baitfish in my opinion; shad, minnows, bluegills. I always have one tied on from the spring to the fall.

Comments: I'm from Northeast Ohio where we don't even have shad really, but I use the Threadfin Shad color, and boy do they smack it. I watched a TacticalBassin video on how to fish the bullshad and i wake them along the top, and the bass absolutely love them! Pull the trigger on this bait it's amazing!

Comments: Picked one up in Rainbow Trout on Friday and got out today here in MA to try it out. My PB crappie slammed it while I trolled it on my way across the pond....30 minutes later a 30" northern pike CHOKED it! Almost lost the bait! Enough said. Love it.

Comments: Very good action and color options. Get the bluegill color if you live in the northeast. This bait caught me a 4.6 the first time but will also catch the little ones. This is a good starting bait if you've never used a hard swim bait before.

Comments: Good lure, but change the hooks and split rings before your first cast. The rings stared rusting after the first use. The hooks straightened on a 1/2 white bass. Swapped everything out today at the boat ramp and caught 25.

Comments: Yall watch the video above - American dream , just a great story by a man living his dream making some of the worlds best Swimbaits. I fish lake mead ( hover dam ) and catch plenty of stripers on my bucca bull shad.

Comments: Absolutely incredible!!! Triggered a bite on a slow day. Monster 5 pound Largemouth just nailed it. Action is so lifelike. Highly recommend.

Comments: Used this for the first time yesterday on a rock point, casted it out and let it sink for a few seconds and then did a slow roll back and then BAM! My new pb smallmouth engulfed this thing. Amazing bait, looks like it should also work really well as a wake type bait with a fast retrieve. Definitely going to buy more of these.

Comments: My favorite small swimbait. Has great S swimming action and fish come out of the woodwork to smack this bait. I caught my pb Black crappie on it. I throw it on 12lb P-line cxx on a Lew's light reel and a 7'0 medium heavy. Catch Co. and Mike Bucca knocked it out of the park.

Comments: This bait is incredible! Runs nice built very good I use this so much I bought a set up just for throwing this bait. A gloomis 845c cbr 7'med heavy paired with a Shimano tranx 200A 7.2 14 pound suffix siege and this bait... KING... I also switch out the trebs for vmc 7547BN hybrid #6 1X trebs this bait with these hooks never gets shook, this thing is a smallmouth destroyer! They cannot leave it alone. I'm up here on the Canadian boarder in Minnesota, our sheild lake smallmouths will destroy baits that are not quality. This thing is pretty much indestructible. Quick sub surface retrieve most times works best for this bait. If you can get it to cut water they eat it just to be mean. It drives them nuts! I bought 4, now own about 30 along with the 6' bullshads. Awsome baits beyond addicting to fish.

Comments: best small swimbait ever!!! i got this for a gift a few months ago and i got to say, its awesome! the colors are good but the action is even better. has a beautiful "S" on the retrieve and the best part is when it swims, the segments hit each other and make a clacking sound that kills in dirty water. love em!

Comments: I haven't ever really fished swimbaits epecially hard ones but I got this in my most recent mtb, I took it out to give it a try and caught 4 fish on it within an hour. Now im gonna go check out the bigger versions of this bait. Awesome little bait with unique action. Came with pretty sharp hooks right out of the box.
