Shad 100 Swimbait

The Shad 100 swimbaitis born following the footsteps of the older brother conceived for the pike fishing. The first time I saw this smaller version, my thoughts went to the rapid waters where my “obsession” lives … the marble trout. The size of the shad is 10cm and 24 grams, it is ideal to catch the marble trouts, without precluding us to catch some medium-sized fish that often make us have fun.
One of the great advantages that I have found in using this bait is that it can be used as a classic shad, retrieved with the usual ups and downs imparted with slow or fast reel movements, or as a swimbait with a regular retrieval. Precisely with a constant retrieval, in holes where the water slows down, and in the large slow-flowing plains, this bait gives the best of itself becoming part of the prey to which our trouts cannot resist.
The point of strength of this bait is the very realistic swimming action, combined with the excellent colors with which it is made and its dimensions that adapt particularly to this predator. One of the features that I appreciated the most is the versatility and ease of use: it does not require too strong equipment and lends itself well to being maneuvered with rods with a c.w. of 40gr. To make the bait less invasive and give it an extremely imitative look I preferred to deprive it of the lip with which this artificial was born, for the fact that when I am fishing in crystal clear waters I prefer to be minimal in the presentation, keeping aside the lip in case the waters became veiled or if I decided to use it to catch other predators.
During the last season, I was amazed by the number of catches recorded with this bait; I’m sure that this soft bait that is actually a hybrid between a swimbait and a shad, will give many satisfactions to the many fans who, like me, look for the marble trouts and the brown trouts.
