''I'll use the 1/4 oz Red Eye in grass that's real thick or real shallow water. It's also a good fall (autumn) bait. In the backs of the creeks in autumn, there can be a lot of real small bait, and the 1/4 size better matches that. Also when there's thick grass that grows within two feet of the surface, the 1/2 oz size can get caught up too easily in that. However, the 1/4 oz will not hang up, especially if you use it with heavy line. The tournament proven Redeye Shad is one deadly lipless crankbait.''

I normally cast a 1/2 oz. lipless but when the bass get a little finicky 1/4 oz. is the way to go. Its got great action and calls them in from the little dinky bass to the big mean nasty's. I've even caught crappie on it, I love my strike kings

A buddy of mine used the 1/2 ounce red eye shad for smallies and had very few strikes. I was wondering if these are smaller and lighter if they would work better.
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
From what i know of fishing for smallies a bait as large and loud is probably the problem. i would defiantly give this size a try as well as silent crank baits
A:Â
Caught many smallies in the U.P. onthe 3/4 oz. in lucky shad and sexy shad colors
A:Â
Get in the faster water, burn it, and hold on !!Answers

To me it's all determined by water and weather conditions... For sun and clear water any of the chromes will catch fish regularly. Cloudy and murky water I would try the golds and reds/ oranges. Here in Michigan it seems this year that reds and blue/ yellows are constant murky water bass landers. Hope it helpsA:Â
sexy shad - white - shades of gold - blueA:Â
Gold works well for me. I keep several in my box in case I lose a couple.

Really depends on local baitfish type, water color and clarity, and sun light, but I don't think you can go wrong with a blue/chrome, black/gold, sexy shad, or chrome sexy shad.

i rarely give out my secret colors but i happen to have a few select favorites that work almost everywhere if your fishing clear water nothing seems to catch me more fish than sexy shad colorDetails:Â
i got the 1/2 oz. but is this better because its not quite so terribly heavy?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
It just depends...on the size of the baitfish they want and how deep. If I am fishing in 0-5 feet I like the 1/4oz, and anything deeper I like the 1/2 or even 3/4 if they are 15+.A:Â
Depending on the depth the fish are holding... and water temp. Just MHO based on my experience.A:Â
smaller sizes seem to work better early season.A:Â
For the lake I fish on.....Yes. It rides shallower in the water than the 1/2 oz does.It all depends on what's under the surface. If there's a lot of tree limbs and brush in the water you're going to get hung up less on the 1/4 than the 1/2. That's my opinion.
A:Â
The 1/4 oz is better for small mouths in my opinion. because it is smaller. The 1/2 oz is for deeper water too.A:Â
great for lighter tackle, and when the water is gin clear, and smallies are finiky.Details:Â
where and how.
Answers
A:Â
Any water and a minimum dept. of 6 ft.

Any stricture 4-10 feet deep, burn it then pull the rod then let it fall for a second and start reeling again.A:Â
Use it just above the weeds and use a sweeping motion with your body. As the bait falls it clips the weeds and when you jerk the bait the bass strike it.A:Â
Lipless crankbaits cover water fast, and are a great lure to find where the fish are. From there, you can key in on the bigger and more plentiful fish once they are located. These aren't great for shallow water, and I'd use the bigger versions in deep water or when the bass are being aggressive. Use this smaller 1/4 oz. version when the fish are finicky. As for how to fish it, typically you just burn it in as fast as you can to give it great vibrations.A:Â
Today was the first day using it. I caught over 25 bass and crappie trolling the lure behind the boat. No Kidding.A:Â
shallow or deep depends on what time of year spring i fish the shallow water when fish come up to spawn.
A:Â
I really like the chrome sided models of the 1/4 oz. version. If its really cold usually the fish are suspended on the outside of the brush it seems as it gets a little warmer they move closer the edges. I like to cast it and pull it a short distance and allow it to flutter down on a tight line and pull again for a short distance and allow it to deepen with the contour of the bank. Hope this helps.

uSE this alot in the spring and fall when the water is just starting to warm up. In cold water, cast out and pull the bait with the tip of your rod. Let it set[OR SINK] as you reel up the line. Summer time when shad are present i like to burn it for a reaction strike.
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
Find a flat where grass grows about four feet below the surface then run it over the grass just ticking the grass edges. This bait is designed to be just as effective on the fall so I am constantly pumping my rod on the retreive.

Yes you can just throw it around and reel it in and catch fish, but if you want to catch more and bigger fish, on the retrieve every few feet stop reeling and let it drop a foot or two and then start reeling again. This lure drops perfectly straight down and I have had many bites on the downfall. Happy Fishing!1 of 1
