red eye shad

[zero]

i am going to bps tmw because of sale starts at tomorrow so i am planning to get red eyes shad which is good color to use in spring/summer times

[FISHUNTER]

Chrome/Blue has always been the winner with me

Bleeding gizzard shad has been a producer for me.

look at the color of baitfish where you plant to fish... if the feed mostly on shad then the lighter color shad type colors with work better... if they feed mostly on bream and panfish, then go with the darker/striped baby bass and sexy sunfish type colors

I'd have a back up plan, the way they have been selling this week, might be wiped out.

As of right now looking at the BPS website, half the 1/2 oz are out of stock, all the 3/4oz shows in stock, and the 1/4 oz shows a few out of stock.

I can't wait to see how many Red Eyes and other lipless baits are in the flea market section in 4 months.

"Japnese Shad" is one of the best natural colored cranks I've seen - Very natural hues with a speck of chartreuse.  It has a perfect dark to light fade from the top to bottom and it is translucent like many baitfish.

I'm with you on the Japanese shad color, very productive last fall, I also like the Mojarra color a lot.

[Stingray23]

[JDK.]

From all the original marketing, I thought they only came in Sexy Shad

It's no secret that spring (pre-spawn) is a great time for lipless cranks.  We expect and accept questions about frogs in the summer, so why not lipless cranks in the spring?  Folks are making too much of the influence of the Classic IMO.

Citrus Shad always produces for me.

Chrome Sexy Shad color during the summer and fall. Gold w/ black back and I think it's called the Metallic Tennessee Shad early in the year. Also, for stained water with low clarity levels, I like to use the Red Craw Chartreuse.

I just find that SK crank and lipless run great or they have issues and need tinkering. And I think a lot people buy baits, use them for an hour or so with little or no success, then say they suck, and sell them. It has happened on here and other boards I belong to. My personal favorites were the Rogue's after the 2005 Classic, chatterbaits after Rick Morris in 2006, and the original Sexy Shad craze in 07 I believe.

I agree.  I have several red eyes that need tuning b/c they don't run straight.  That's why i switched to Xcalibur.  Sure do miss that shimmy on the fall though.
