Comments: Great looking glide bait. Built well with great hardware. Does sink faster than expected. The only issue I have found is the bait spins when it is cast, so it will twist your line. Overall awesome bait!!!

Comments: Be careful how you store them. Great bait, tail material is cheap crap though.

Comments: Performance is great, I would have been willing to pay an extra $5 dollars for a quality tail though. Whatever that material is, it's not good. be careful how you store these baits as the tail material will warp and stay that way. I'm going to glue in a new tail with quality materials. Once that is done, I will be able to get a better read on this bait and if it's worth keeping around.

Comments: Ordered SPRO Chad Shad. Received SPRO Chad Shad. Lost SPRO Chad Shad. Ordered two more. Second cast 5-7 pounder broke the line around the eye. The knot was still there. Don't know if there was a rough spot on the metal or just too much pressure on fresh 17 lbs. line. It swam beautifully on the first cast though. The angle of the hinge is perfect and exactly how it's supposed to be to get a good chop. The paint job looked great too.

Comments: For a value remake of an amazing glide it gets the job done. It's all heavier than expected but been fishing deep with great success. Highly recommend it if getting into swimbaits and want something better than S-waver or g-ratt glide etc.

Comments: A really solid value bait. I've never had the pleasure of obtaining an original Chad Shad, so I'm glad these were commissioned for the masses. I can see the hype behind this bait. Fished it only a few days and it yielded a few fish and lots of followers. It's a great bait for the beginning swim baiter. It glides smoothly on a straight steady retrieve. It exhibits that signature side to side "chop" easily with rod twitch input or reel handle pumps. It stays level and never really "blows" out. I highly recommend grabbing one or two...or three.

Comments: This bait sinks faster than an arashi and the hinge angle is too slack. C-

Comments: Finally received these baits. Spro did a great job on these glides for sure, BUT just so everyone knows the Bone color I received is Not at all like the Bone color picture above, it's more of a Orange color, at least mine is. I have already caught several fish on the Threadfin.
