Here is a pic of the first Megastrike Fat Shad (THE Fat Bass Dit) It is only 4 inches long but replicates the most popular bait fish size. I wanted it to displace a lot of water so I made the body fat. Unlike streamline swimbaits , it has a fatter body section and a big thumper tail. It has a very unique body roll. I will have videos of it soon -attached to a 1/4 and 3/8 Pro Model Shak-E2 Head. It is designed to be slow rolled on the surface and crawled along the bottom. The other day I was flipping it into mats of grass when I could find a hole and gottum.Double click on the image to enlarge. Almost has a goby type profile http://lineart.redshad.com/MegaStrike/

i like the fatness a lot

You got my attention.....

Nice looking bait, I'm interested.

Can't wait to see it on a Shak-E2. I like it.

Here you go:

HMMM maybe i named it wrong-looks like a seal

Paddle-tail seal, next best thing since Senkos and sliced bread.

That is a unique looking bait. Is it a heavy bait? I am wondering about the rate of fall. Paddle Tail Seal would have been a great name.

Looking forward to throwing this guy in front of some

Tennessee River smallies!

On a 1/4 oz or 3/8 oz pro Model Shak-E2 Its a killer

How much does it weigh?

Hell I dont know-

Hell I dont know-

hahahaha ;D

Hell I dont know-

OK so let me rephrase my question. Is it a buoyant bait that will stay near the surface when fished slowly with out a weight? Or is it a bait that will sink like a rock?

Weight is .42OZ A touch over 12 grams-Screw the metric system. Has a real nice sink rate-Its pretty heavy for its size. Ya dont want to much salt or it dosent swim right.It needs that bit of buoyancy.

Thanks it sounds heavy enough to cast easily without added weight but light enough to stay near the surface at a slow retrieve. Hopefully it will sink slow enough so it does not drop out of the strike zone when you kill it. Good luck with it.

If you are using it weightless-use a wide gap hook so it acts like a keel. That way it dosent roll

Probably a heavy super line hook?

That will work but I dont think it needs to be that big-

Bobby, you owe me a keyboard. I just spit up my coffee after reading your hell I don't know reply. LOL

Looks like some good swimbaits. Can't wait to give them a try.

LOL I owe myself a few keyboards from reading all this bass porn.. You guys kill me- Ive got to get these videos done to show you guys what this looks like in the water with the Pro model shak-e -seriously it is very unique.I think this would be a killer technique for the guys fishing the Great Lakes for deep smallies

How 'bout Tennessee brown fish?

I think they are going to like them, too!

They down count-Get up north and those brownies will eat those guys down there. the northern fish gotz shoulders. LOL
