SHAD SWIM BAITS
SHAD SWIM BAITS

By Ken Liebeskind
Yalesville, Connecticut
Shad swim baits are extremely popular because shad is the most prevalent baitfish, used to catch many breeds of fish, including walleye, bass, salmon, trout and northern pike. Bass are especially eager for shad baits. They are eaten "by more bass than anything else they feed on," one angler said.
Among the most popular shad swim baits out there are the Rapala Shad Rap, which is responsible for more tournament wins than any other hard bait. It's excellent for fishing in shallow water, for twitching, trolling or casting. Other popular shad swim baits include the Storm Lures Wildeye Swim Shad, a soft bait that works well in weedy areas and is ideal for walleye.
The KickTail XL-5 is one of the most successful shad swim baits.

It's based on a patented aeronautical flutter technology that causes the tail to wag in the water like a live fish. The lure moves so realistically a group of professional anglers couldn't tell the difference between the Kicktail lure and a live shad. In a test, the Kicktail lure caught three times as many fish as other popular lures and live bait. The Kicktail lure is shaped like a threadfin shad and comes in a variety of colors, including chartreuse lime and other holographic shades.
