Location: Belgium | I don't know whether someone has asked this before (I couldn't find the topic) but I was wondering which are the best shad-shaped crankbaits. I liked my old bagley but those are the only ones I tried myself besides the 5" tuff shad. I read that hooker shads are great as well. I'm loking for baits in the 5" range for trolling |

Location: Oshawa, Ontario | Have a look at the 7" deep diving Slammer's - beauty of a bait. If shallow/ twitching is a possibility look at the 5" Slammer's. Great baits, although the hooks and split rings need upgrading. |

Location: Chicago, Beverly | I have a Rapala Super Shad Rap that is all tore up and still works. They are like American Express, when musky fishing don't leave home without them... Crane has a shad shaped bait that has a great action. Lindy used to have one. |

Location: oswego, il | Slammer makes a 6" deep diver too and has a 6" drop belly he made special for the shows last year.
I have a bunch of hooker shads and they are nice. They suspend/sink slow and do not have the vibration the bagleys do. They do catch fish though I seem to catch them when trolling on the inside or outside planer on an inside turn. |
