Looks like a must have?

Anyone know how long it takes for an order?  

Thanks in advance

Tacklewharehouse site says mid November. I like the looks of the Tru-Tungsten swimbait as well.  Not sure which one I will chose.

I like the look of that one too. Arent they about the same price?

Same price. They both look nice for a SMALL swimbait.

As soon as I saw the BBZ1 Shad in my Bassin magazine, I said, that's going to be my first swimbait.

Swimbaits are going to be my "project" for next season.

This bait looks amazing, I have been waiting for this bait to be released for awhile.

Tru-Tungsten for me

Why does the Spro one seem to only have a spot for one treble hook?  The removable weights on the Tru-Tungsten are a plus too.  Also, I fish waters where the primary forage is not shad, but rather bass and bluegill.  So the color selection is another plus for the Tru-Tungsten, at least for me.

I haven't got to throw the 4" Tru-Tungsten, but I have a few of the Spro shads.  They are so nasty in the water.  I've caught a few with them, but I haven't really given them much time other than showing others how they swim.  As the fall bite gets into full swing, this bait is really gonna produce.

Looks like Late October and Free shipping

Sweet I'm glad they're coming out soon.  

What do you guys think about using the spro shad in waters that don't have shad?

 Something tells me that the swimming action will be so sweet that it won't matter, but maybe I should get a tru tungsten?

Place an order today...

Have a few places this swimbait should be outstanding...

Falcon PM sent

Can you really call that a swimbait though?  :-/

what else would you call it?

i think this is actually a good example of a swimbait. multi jointed, very realistic, realistic swimming motion without a lip. thats pretty much what a swimbait is.

there are some other so-called "swimbaits" on the market are questionable as to whether they really are swimbaits...... :-?

I know what you mean, but it just seems to small to be a swimbait to me.

its not the traditional, california big-bait type swimbait, but it is certainly a swimbait.

It doesn't have to be huge to be a swimbait.

Swimbait is too broad of a term to try to narrow it down and say what is and isn't.

Everything from a 3.5" fish trap to a 10" AC Plug to a 12" Osprey are swimbaits.  Hell people call a King Shad a swimbait and it is a jointed rip bait.  

Mine Shipped yesterday, just in time for this weekend!

Mine is shipping today and will be here on the 22nd.

i ordered a perch tru tungsten and a natural shad spro.

the spro got here today and i can't wait to use it on sunday.

i went to a pond to see the action and its crazy.

i got a blue black herring spro instead of my perch tru tungsten so i either have to sell it or send it back. i'm not sure what i'm going to do yet. but i'm in the same boat. only a few lakes have shad and most have perch so the tru tungsten is good for color, but the spro is a better bait i beleive. its a great bait and i loved the tru tungsten until i saw this spro one today. its so realistic its rediculous!

I got mine in the mail today!

Very Nice

I am hitting the river in the morning, will report out.

does anyone know if Basspro will be carrying these baits?

Probably eventually but you can get them at Tackle Warehouse right now.

Anyone field test these things yet?
