Shooting for Chartruese Shad.....need opinions

Featured Replies

I like throwing a chartruese shad crankbait, so figured why not try it on a spinnerbait. Played around with it a little and this is what I came up with. What do you guys think about it.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I may not catch anything, on it, but I'm sure gonna give it a chance!

Monte- I try to keep them all simple. Easier to keep them consistent that way and saves time. Thanks for the compliment

Jigfish- I like my skirts that way. Eliminates the need for a trailer. Sometimes I prefer the even cut with a trailer though. The skirts do take better pictures with an even cut. When the top is short like that, the gap between the top flare and the bottom of the skirt kinda messes with the angles and reflections some.

I just think that the overall profile of the bait looks a little more realistic...if you can get realistic with a SB.

I'll use your description in the future though, it sounds a heck of a lot better than mine.

I think you are nailing the baitfish patterns........How about a threadfin shad next....... ;D ;D ;D

get me a pic or two of what you are looking for and I'll work on it.

Looks awesome, great amount of detail.

Great color! Nice job.

Do you mind telling what skirt colors you are using.

Have used it on two different trips/lakes and have caught fish on it both times. So far looking good!

Where did you buy the skirt material from.

Most from fishing skirts. Think pearl is from Skirts plus

I'll take 2 in 1/4 and 2 in 3/8 :)

My first thought was citrus shad.

Yes, that's what I meant...lol I was off somewhere else when I typed the title. Didn't realize it until later and just left it. IF I ever get a chance to update my website with the spinnerbaits, it will be listed as Citrus Shad.
