Here is a bait I have been working on all winter. They are catching fish already here in Michigan and Indiana.
BC Shad
Solid Mahogany
7”
5 coats of epoxy finish
.092 screw eyes
4/0 eagle claw 774 4x hooks
#7 Worth heavy split rings
I designed them to be very versatile, they run a bit deeper than most but still can be worked shallow depending on where you hold your rod tip or speed of retrieve, But I mainly designed them for break and open water fishing.
