The Shadzilla is a hollow bodied bait with an inserted weight & harness. The Swimm'n Dawg & Posseidon (by Chaos Tackle) are solid bodied baits with any internal weight & harness that is molded into the bait when it's poured/injected. The Shadzilla is made from softer plastic so it gets tore up quicker but the softer plastic gives the bait better swimming action (especially at slower speeds). All 3 have slightly different swimming actions. It's all a matter of what you prefer & what you want to spend on a soft plastic swimbait.

 

I have caught a lot of muskies (up to 45") on LSC with the 9.5" Shadzilla & even caught some 10 LB channel cats on them. I've done a lot of gluing & melting to repair them & they are still catching fish for me.

My best producer on LSC has been natural perch followed by white zombie and black w/orange tail.
