Overview
Designed to match large forage that live throughout the Country, the Smash-Tech Baits Gizzard Shad Weedless Swimbait presents a substantial meal to giant bass hiding in heavily vegetated areas. Featuring an ultra-realistic shad profile body with a hard thumping paddle tail, it produces a very natural swimming action that giant bass won’t be able to resist. To get through the thickest of cover, the Smash-Tech Baits Gizzard Shad is fitted with a belly hook slot, which accommodates a large screw-lock style swimbait hook for a perfectly weedless presentation.
The Smash-Tech Baits Gizzard Shad it best used with a slow retrieve, crawled along the bottom over ledges and rock piles, but it is also extremely effective burned across the surface around visual target structure.
Made from tough plastic that balances between action and durability, it also comes equipped with realistic scale patterns, protruding fins, 3D eyes, and molded gill plates for an added level of attraction. Available in a range of highly realistic airbrushed colors, the Smash-Tech Baits Gizzard Shad Weedless Swimbait is made for putting lunkers in your livewell.

Comments: These baits work great on a belly weighted hook. I see some reviews saying the baits don't run straight. If they are rigged straight on a belly weighted hook, they run fine every time. They recommend Owner beast hooks and that is what I use. There is a belly slit to allow the hook to move up into the bait on hook set so hook up ratio is good even with the hook tip exposed. I like the 5 inch but I have a 7 inch to try.

Comments: Great bait, but not built for more than a couple fish. Horrible customer service from the manufacturer resolving issues with defective bait. Money spent better elsewhere next time!!

Comments: I have been using this bait for monster river bass. Slow rolled, with a magnum weighted swimbait hook, through grass, wood, and rock produces BIG ! Lifelike perch, bluegill, and shad type bodies attract attention fast. Get down and catch those allusive trophy fish.

Comments: the 5 inch will catch you tons of fish. Can be fickle to get to run without going on it's side but it's worth the effort cause once you get it set correctly the fish smash it! and it's durable, I've caught 20 on one bait pretty easy and it's still going with no mend it at all. Very very happy with this bait.

Comments: We've been catching some large Lake Fork Hawgs on these baits this year. Be sure to use 50 Lb. braid or 20 Lb. fluorocarbon, depending on the cover, because the strike is HARD. I've been guiding on Lake Fork for 23 yrs. & its been many years since I've seen a bait that entices our big bass as well as these baits do.
