The 2" Squirmin Shad in the firetiger color.Several years ago Bass Pro Shop sold a 2" squirmin shad in the firetiger color. It was one of the very best baits that was fished on Grenada Lake in Mississippi. Now all we can find is the 3" and they don't fish as well as the 2". Please bring back the 2", we really liked that lure.

Crushes river smallmouthMatched with a 1/8th oz jig head and smallmouth are all over it. Like any other soft plastic they get torn up over time, but it seems to fit well at first then once it is torn up just use some super glue. Yet this bait still holds up more than some other baits.
Hint: Use the Tennessee Shad color.
Best part: low cost for a lot in the package

FISH MAGNETI have caught over 15 fish on this lure and I have only used them twice. Once you find the right jig head to rig them with you'll be catching lots of fish!

Bass MagnetThis shad bait has much more wiggle than most I've tried. I like the crappie color as it has the natural color of the crappie that are in my favorite bass quarry. The bass really like it. I tried in in the early spring and cannot wait to get on the lake in the summer.

OUTSTANDING BAITThis is a fish killer of a bait. If I had one go to bait for the rest of my life it would be a jig and a tail.

BEST SMALL SHAD EVERI have used other brands that look similar to the SQUIRMIN SHAD and they don't work as well. I first started using these while fishing A-RIGS in Mississippi and other Southeast waters.
A guy told me about them in the Pearl, MS Bass Pro Shops Store. I never use the other brands now.
The Pearl Dace Back Squirmin 3" works really well with an A-Rig. We have been known to Daisy chain two rigs together and the bait ball drives the fish wild. Make sure you know how many hooks you can use in the area you fish first.lol
The Arkansas Shiner in a 4" is my favorite for use with a Dart Head or Finesse Jig. Bass love these even here in California.

Flat tail soft baitI am never without these soft flat tail swim baits. I try to keep a good assortment of different colors and sizes in my tackle box. I've use this green style before and found they are very effective, both in fresh as well as salt water. I bought these to replenish my depleted stock, which I used up fishing for red fish. They are extremely effective for red fish, salt water trout, flounder and fresh water bass. They are my go to bait in fresh or salt water.
Thank you for your inquiry! The color to use will vary depending on what you are fishing for, conditions of the water, weather conditions, etc. The link below will take you to our 1-Source page for more information specific to your fishing needs.

The package says "Heavy-Salt", but makes no mention of "8up Scent". Has anything changed with the bait, from the description on the website.
Asked by: Kendrick483
No scent that I'm aware of, the action is enough to trigger a strike. The changes have to do with color and size.

Weedless?
Just bought a pack and want to rig them weedles texas style...It was awkward when I tried cause their body is too fat to get the hook all the way through with 4/0.
Any suggestions?
Asked by: Bassbot
Go get a weedless football or mushroom jig. This bait is to small to Texas rig.

How to rig for saltwater river/surf fishing?
What would be the best size&color to use when fishing in the brackish dirty colored Myakka River in Fl? Are they good for snook, redfish, or snapper? And how would they best be mounted-on a hook or jig or? And what size/color/mount to use for surf fishing? We like to surf fish off of Boca Grande. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
