Loop_Dad Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Do they float with a hook? I think they do but I do not want to be surprised after ordering few packs...Thanks! Quote

If your talking about Caffeine shads, NO. They do not float with OR without a hook. They have a lot of salt in them, and sink pretty good, at least faster than a Zoom super fluke. If you want ones that float get the Ela-z-tech material baits. Or if you want a bait of this style that sinks faster yet...........look at the GYCB D-shad. 1 Quote
Christian M Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 If your talking about the new KVD drop shot/finesse shads (I forget the name...I think they're called perfect shots or something) then yes they do, I've used them drop shotting once so far this year and did really well with them, but the caffeine shads do not float, they have a really great shimmy as they sink and are really effective in spring. The best way to tell if a bait floats is to just taste them, if they taste like salt then they don't float, if you don't taste salt then they will float. Quote

Christian M Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 The new KVD shad bait is called the "Dream Shot", it does have salt in it, but very little, and it works really well for drop-shotting & shakey heading. For drop-shotting I would recommend a smaller hook, like a #1 or #2 Quote
