New for 2016 was the 10" slammer shad. Had a chance to run these on a recent trip, and caught several Musky and 20 lb pike.

Really liked the way they hooked fish. Thought the nice taper towards the back end helped with hookups.

Has a slight walk at slower speeds, but going 4.5-5.2 mph it had a significant walk to them.

Its was a Nice alternative to minnow baits, as it ran about 1.5' to 2.5' deeper, than a Jake or Grandma.

Few pics of the baits used

Thanks for posting, I have been curious if guys were using them. I picked up a handful this year and also really like the action, nice walk at higher speeds.

That hot perch pattern is awesome! Bill, if you read this, show color?

Mak, yes, few guides up in Minny have been doing well on them. I just tried them, so they were new to me. As for colors, I asked Bill for some loud colors??

Nathan, I mostly trolled, BUT, did take a few casts along a rocky shoreline. They did seem to bounce off the rocks nicely, and I rarely got snagged up banging rocks trolling. The bait is not an instant deep diver, so it walked down a normal rocky shoreline with an even slower descend!

I freely admit to being a fan of just about anything Bill Schwartz makes. The baits work as advertised and the price is fair. How can you go wrong? I start out with the 6" minnow for the opener and progress through the lineup until I wrap up my season row trolling the 10" Minnows and Shad Divers. During the bulk of the summer I've done best on 7" minnow and 5" shad. Take that info for what it's worth but if you're not using some Slammers you're probably missing something.
