The brilliant team at Missile’s HQ delivers their take on one of the most productive bladed jig trailers roaming the water today with the Missile Baits Spunk Shad. The baitfish imitating trailer relies on the same bite-inducing profile and erratic action of the original Hog Farmer Spunk Shad but employs the proprietary color pour technologies the Missile Bait team has perfected to give anglers their favorite trailer in the best colors. It features a natural ribbed body with a unique pintail design to create an irresistible slithering action that is indiscernible from a fleeing baitfish to trigger an instinctual reaction from any bass nearby. In addition to its ability to bring your favorite vibrating jig or scrounger head to life, the Spunk Shad is also deadly when rigged weightless and worked like a soft plastic jerkbait thanks to its super erratic side-to-side darting action. Poured with a softer plastic and available in Missile’s legendary colors, the Missile Baits Spunk Shad results from two great bait artists coming together to construct a match made in hog heaven.

Love this baitThis bait is so versatile. I use it on my chatterbait. I also like to use it on a Carolina rig in the summer. Even works great on a jig head chasing suspended fish.

Ideal baitA perfect vibrating jig trailer and the size options give versatility in matching the hatch, or different sizes of vibrating jigs. Also perfect for strolling. Great colors to cover the situation and conditions. Durable but soft.

Clam shell packageAll the baits kink up!!!! They need clam shell packaging.
This would make me buy more.
Rather spend money on crush city freeloader because of the packaging.

Stays on my ChatterbaitThe 4.5 Missile Spunk stays on my Chatterbait. I have experimented with many different trailers and the Missile one is more durable and out catches any of the others. I like the Bruiser Flash color on my black/blue. Jacks and I love that Goby Bite color on the green pumpkin chatters.

Best shad body bait on marketI use these on chatterbaits and jig heads. I have tried other trailers on my chatterbaits but none are as durable and have as good of action as the Spunk Shad. I think these ones are more durable than the Hog Farmer ones too. Just started putting them on ball heads for FFS. I like the ribs for resistance so the bait will stay in their face a little longer. I bet I have caught 10 bass over 5 pounds this year on Spunk Shads

Surprisingly inconsistent colorsThe multi color spunk shad vary in color a lot through a pack. There is usually 3 that are somewhat similar and rest are wildly inconsistent. I wish I could post a picture in this review to show what a pack of 7 Missle Spunk Shads looks like. I do not see this inconsistency from the original spunk shad manufacture Hog Farmer. In a pack from Hog Farmer you might have one goofy one in a pack but it's rare, no matter how complex the color/pour is. I would not recommend these because of that, go with the OG.

The right actionIt’s a phenomenal chatterbait trailer. The tapered tail allows for instant action when stopping and creates “zero” drag. I love hanging this bait up in grass and ripping it out to get a reaction strike. It comes through cover when flipping pads and the the tapered tail allows for that “hunting action” instantly. I don’t normally comment but I had to jump on here to offset the two mediocre reviews listed before me, I couldn’t see a great bait go down like that.

Quality issueBruiser flash is great but green pumpkin delight was poured in a way that the chartreuse line is only on one side of the plastic. Other than that the baits work great.

Love spunk Shad’s, but..Love the colors missile baits are making, but they may need to check their molds. I’ve pulled several out of the pack with incomplete tails. It’s a shame since they are making a unique color I really like to use.

Comments: Love these baits!!! Never heard of the Spunk Shad until I saw them in my local tackle shop here in Central FL. Great action on the back of a Jackhammer and lasts forever. Colors that worked for me were Black and blue, Green Pumpkin, and Goby Bite. Caught some nice ones last time I went out!

Comments: Caught a 5 pounder as my first bite with the 5.5 in Bruiser Flash on a Jackhammer. This is such a money color in the waters I fish. I will be getting more of both sizes. Thank you, Missile for making this bait in this color.
