Today I tested rigging a few Lunker City Fin-S Fish on a chatterbait.   I used both the 5.75" & 7" specimens of various colors, and well, yeah. They all looked great.  I like Lunker City's wide assortment of great colors, and teh wiggle imparted by the chatterbait really does a good job at bringing those colors out, and bringing the flash out. 

 

Liked it. 

Try the lake fork live magic shad. The jointed one. It's magic

I've had good success with a regular fluke as well. The Zman Diesel MinnowZ is a killer on a bladed jig and a single one will outlast the whole bag of most anything else. 

X2 on the Magic Shads, but I fall in love with a new favorite soft bait for bladed jigs every time I fish them, I think it is just a great lure that is more fun to fish than a spinnerbait a lot of times...

 

I never have used the Fin-s but only because I have never thought about trying it, I like using the Z man and Zulu Elaztach flukes, but I fish with a friend who uses a forked tail zoom fluke similar to the fin s and he does well at times....It's all about fall rate I think and action, plus color contrast, or bulk, or who knows....I do know that the Magic shads cause the lure to swim wide and you may miss a few strikes but the fish are usually quality on the larger sizes.

Lunker City is a company that is under appreciated....The Sluggo is still a top soft bait, the new slim versions of the SLuggo, the SS sluggo are actually really good alternatives to say a trick worm, longer and thinner, but those Texpose hooks they make are awesome for senko's and they have a good weight system as well as a good frog/grub with the Salad spoon once you get it to land right side up which is easy to adjust...Great baits, the Helgie looks awesome but have not pulled it out yet, too many choices.

Yeah Ive used the Magic shad as well, but I only rate it as - OK. Sure it works good, and I don't knock it, but its in inherent design is that of a swimbait,  and that shaking blade takes the cool swimming action right out of the bait, leaving that trailer to only vibrate instead of swim.   It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to put a trailer on there that loses its action that it was designed with.    but I'll still use them anyway.

 

The Fin-S fish however, is offered in a wider selection of sizes, from something like 2.5" - 10", and by comparison, in a spectacular variety of great color patterns.   I tried with both the 5.75" & 7" sizes.  It looks equally great on a bladed jig, as well as a scrounger.

Agreed....They have a lot of products that that I like, including the Fin-S Fish, Swim-fish, Grubster, Ribster, Swimming Ribster, Hellgie, all in varieties that will satisfy everything from panfish to big game saltwater fish.  I haven't given the SLuggos a good try yet, but I do like the 4.5" Sluggos as a good shiner immitation.

Really? How so?  Ive never seen any of my chatterbait/Magic Shad rigs do anything that looks like "Swimming wide."  Im having difficulty visualizing this.
