This new swimbait looks pretty amazing. Most realistic looking Shad I've seen to date...

Spro 4" Shad

Wow, they look great.

micro i hate you.

you have now made me spend 20 bucks on a lure.... :-/

Wow

I can't wait to get my hands on these

Micro,

That is a beautiful bait.

I visited the "double secret" tackle shop in my area that sells Japanese lures and I purchased some beautiful baits that you can't find anywhere, other than the internet.

The artwork is simply beautiful. Just like the lure you showed us.  

The one that blew my mind is the Pop Max GG Peacock which resembles a bleeding yellow perch.  The details are excellent.  It looks like a real fish.

The Mr-X Griffon and the Virbation-X Ultra by Megabass are also beautiful.

I purchased a Megabass Type-X orange back - goldpearl frog.  Never have seen such a frog before. Totally different from any frogs I have ever seen. It is designed to go right, left and upside down and it always turns right-side up.

I am planning to throw these "different" baits in four tournaments coming up in June but I just can't help myself so I will be throwing them before to get the hang and feel of them.

I also picked up an IMA Roumba in the Bull Frog style.  This bait was honorable mention at the ICast show and it is something that I would like to bite.  It is a beautiful bait and I hope it produces some nice strikes.

Please let us know how you do with the baits. PM me if you can after you give them a good workout.

Isn't it great to throw something different that the fish have not seen day in and day out? Thanks for sharing the information.

Now, to get boat back from Jerry Cooper's shop and hit the rivers

If Uncle Sam will ever send out that friggin' rebate check, our secret shop is going to get a good chunk of it.  

What's this super secret shop I keep hearing about?  I see you live in the Richmond Norfolk area...  Not so far from me...

Sorry AvalonJohn,

It is a secret.

And it is far from Winchester.

Later,

Dunno, maybe someone that has more money to spend than brains ..... hey, how come "one of these" ? you need several !  

PD:

VIDEO !!, sincerely yours, The BaitMonkey !.

:'( baitmonkey's already going "ching-ching!"

Those look awesome! Thanks for that video link raul.

i choose to ignore your money over brains comment but thanks for the vid! that thing looks awesome!

i have been wanting a hard shad swimbait for the longest time. i was even about to make my own. thankfully now i dont have to. this is exactly what i was looking for.

Now that looks sweet.  Looks like it will be a great striper bait, too.  

I will defenitely be spending $20 on one of these. That thing looks freaking awesome.

i think i will have to spring for one too.  i have been wanting to try out some swim baits, what better time to start than right after the ICAST!!!

Here's a new Tru-Tungsten bait.  The SPRO looks better.

it's coming out in september and I've been waiting patiently for this thing. my b-day is in sept. and I'm requesting one of a different color from everyone I know.... ;D

It never ends... :-[

d**n bait monkey!!!!

Wife is gonna kill me for sure!!!

HAHAHA ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That's a sick looking bait for sure.

Looks great.  Hope it works AND holds up better than the Strike King King Shad.  That thing broke apart in no time with plastic joints holding it together.... >  

Contacted SK and they say a new one is on the way (3 weeks ago) so we'll see.

Regardless, this bait from SPRO looks incredible and with 2 more joints in the body probably swims much in a much more realistic manner as well.  Nice paint job too!

$20 committed on my end when it's available......

Want to see it in action?  Here is it courtesy of John Crews of SPRO doing a demo on YOU TUBE.

This looks friggin's amazing...

so who else is definitley buying one of these as soon as they come out?

i sure am!

I have 12 cases on order.   You gotta get your orders in early with SPRO as they are SLOW to ship many times.
