One bait, soo many options.

[-HAWK-]

If you haven't tried the Lake Fork Live magic Shad, your missing out. http://www.***.com/descpageLFSPLFSB-LFLMS.html I have been doing very well this summer with this bait. It can be rigged weedless or on a jig head. I really cant say enough about this bait, just wanted to share with everyone. I'm sure most already know the potential of this bait. I'm posting this for everyone that doesn't.

Try these options for rigging:

Great bait for sure.  I dont really like it on a jighead.  Where I fish it gets hung up all the time.

When I am looking for bigger fish I use it like a senko and it works really well that way. I kinda like to think of it as a jig use a senko for numbers a Magic shad for quality.

wow i have three packs of these and i have NEVER used them....i need to....

I have them and find them to be a better option than the bait they were copied from ( Imakatsu Javalon ), if you are thinking you are better purchasing the Javalon think it twice and then go and purchase the Live Magic Shiner.

Put it on a flick shake hook....

Try rigging that joker on a Buckeye Lures Jay Will Swimbait Jig Head. It's nasty.

x2 had a bag of javalons a little over a year ago. they were awesome. But, I have never tried the magic shad.

I have both, that 's why I say they are a better option to the Javalon.

Differences:

They look identical but the head in the Live Magic is slightly longer which allows you to rig it perfectly, for ex. with the 4.5" Javalon I always had this problem to rig it T-weedles with a 3/0 hook, I really stuggled to make the darn hook fit, with the Live Magic I don 't have the same problem because the head is slighlty longer.

The Javalon does have a slightly better action beacuse it 's softer, only problem being softer is that if you sneeze hard on it it tears down to pieces. The Live magic is harder and lasts longer.

Cheaper per unit and more readily available.
