Swim Shad

[JerDog]

Hey, where can you get the swim shads, lost quite a few last night? Most places I have been to don't have them, but other products by Storm.

Have you tried the ones by Riverside? I saw them while checking out the Yum selection at Sear's Essentials. They have several colors, one of which is a rainbow hue, and they are scented with Yum's LPT. I think they were a $1.99 for 3 with a 1/4oz jighead.

Hmmm. I have not, I will have to give them a gander next time I am out there! I went looking at the walmarts around town tonight....and they only had a couple of flavors..none of which look good.

I'll be back at work next week in the Manchester area, I need some more swim baits myself and will pick up a couple extra packs if they have them, if I find some I'll get you some. The fire tiger color has worked real well for me. The 4 inch weigh nearly an ounce, and sometimes I wish they were a liitle heavier. Anything smaller than that wont get down to where the fish seem to be holding. I have not seen any caught on top that I can recall right now, all on the bottom. When you guys drifted out there what was the max. and min. depths you saw?

I was at Target on Gunbarrel rd tonight and they had some storm swimbaits. They were the 4in in shad and the 2 or 3 in in chartruce or fire tiger.

thanks for the tip on the Swim Shads...

most of the fish we caught last week were within a couple of feet of the bottom...the dam generation was a bit less so the 5" swim shad was heavy enough to get down on the bottom quickly.
