Anyone know about the Lake Fork Magic Shad?

Featured Replies

Just picked up a few "rigged" models of this bait at a bargain bin. Anyone had luck with these,or is that why its in the bargain bin?

Please enlighten me on the pros and cons of this bait

I like 'em a lot.  They have a great swimming action and I've caught some very nice fish with them.

I've never tried the pre-rigged ones, but I like to fish them weightless or on a swimbait hook.

They are also KILLER on a chatterbait head with no skirt.  Just slow roll it and hold on!

May just have to try them on a Chatterbait type bait I have. The skirt came apart and I just threw it in my "extras" box. May have to go dig it back out.

Anyone fish these weightless like a Senko or a Fluke and had luck?

Do you mean the magic shad or the live magic shad?  Haven't used them, but was considering picking up some of the magic shad or panic minnows.

Live Magic Shad

On a weighted swim bait hook it was one of the most realistic looking baits I've seen coming through the water.  I only tried it out on two occassions late in the fall, both were fairly successful. 

I love fishing like a senko but you get more size then numbers

Hmm...

Try it on a Sworming Hornet. Cast, settle to the

bottom. Lift and let sink on slack line...repeat.

When fish are inactive, this is my #1 technique.

I fish them on a weightles EWG hook just like a super fluke. Work great.

i love this bait...incredible action....weightless or small weighted hook....can swim it or jerk it

gotta try it on a head shaker/swormin hornet..

Completely agree with Capt. Obvious and CRFisher. I recommend buying the Lake Fork Magic Shad swimbait hooks to go with them. I had a much better hook up ratio using those hooks compared to other high quality swimbait hooks. Also, I have had the most success using it like a jerkbait on summer mornings when the sun is coming up.

So a "SCROUNGER"  jighead would be a good option then?
