Okay...how many of you guys saw "Bass Pros" on TV this "Mother's Day" Sunday?

What crank/Swim bait was Van Dam using in his segment?

I looked though every catalog I have could not find anything that matched it.

Looked like a jointed Rattle-trap. Figured Bass Pro shops would carry it...but was not in their master catalog.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't see it but I'd put $10 on the "strike king-king shad"

Look like THIS ?

(click on "King Shad" on the left column,...scroll down)

nope..had no lip...almost looked like a rattle-trap with a single joint.  He said he uses it for "burning" the bait.  Also mentioned that in came in a shiner color...was waiting for him to say who makes it..but never did.

This is driving me crazy......................

Yes it was a Strike King King Shad.  I don't know if the lip was just not visible to the camera or what, but that was definitely what it was.  I have seen that episode three times and he even says that what it is at one point.  If you're still not convinced, it will be on again I'm sure.

I just pulled it up on my Tivo.  Toward the end of the 1st minute, KVD is landing a smallmouth and he says "He just got that bait......King Shad."

UR correct...that's the bait..never saw the lop..but that's the puppy...many thanks..I can sleep tonight
