One of my favorite lures for fishing off-shore structure . All three sizes have caught deep bass for me and also whites , channel cts , blue cats and drum .I just had a spectacular three hours with the big 3/4 ounce Red Eye Shad  in about 25 foot of water,  just like several other times in the past few years . I found the fish with a depth finder . As soon as I saw the spaghetti looking signals near the bottom I knew the fishing was going to get good in a hurry . Throwing a  Dredger 25.5 through them   several bass were caught then the action  slowed  . Picked up a  RES and just cleaned up . Three times i landed doubles and also the biggest bass of the year . Hopping  the lure like a worm   it shimmies on the fall . Many times the bait never reached bottom on the initial fall .Fishing from an aluminum boat I can  hear stikes in 25 foot of water . Sometimes I can hear the lure going tic, tic , tic as its falling . There are few lures that I rave about like this but when the bass are schooled on structure like they were that day that Strike King Red Eye Shad just flat out murders them .

Nicely Done. 

This is one of my favorite fall presentation for the local brown bass population.  While a Blade bait works, a rattlebait is often better for me at attracting bigger fish.  RES 2 Tap and a Duo Realis G-Fix lippless bait do well.

Finally, south of the border, that 3/4 oz RES is like magic fished deep.  Got my PB with a Sexy Shad.

I agree but I use the xcalibur one knockers.
