If i see one more lure company knock of the color, i am going to have a mental break down.  I mean the color is good, but give it a rest.

Bass Pro just came out with their version called "XXX". Just like chatterbaits and shakey heads, the talk won't die down until something else new knocks the bass fishing industry of its feet. Just give it time.

Sexy Shad will fade when the next fad hits us.  

I'm trying to keep track of all the knockoff names I've seen.

BassPro has XXX Shad as  M and M said.

Bandit has a knockoff called "Sparkle Ghost"

The Fat Free Shads now come in "Foxy Shad"

...

Can anyone think of others?  

It really doesn't bother me. Great marketing using a catchy name and a productive color patter. I was using L.C. Chartruse Shad for years b/f sexy shad came out.

I have a new color design scheme. It's a light purple or magenta color base with off-white and pale yellow swirls.

I call it Sexy Rutabaga.

We all know by now that bass are thinking about "sexy" all the time, and if a bait is not "sexy", they won't eat it.

And, nothing says "sexy" like root vegetables.

Sounds like a sure fire winner to me.

I just can't seem to sell the idea to anybody. What's up with that?

I refuse to call it by it's normal name because:

1. I am not turned on by small fish

2. it looks good but not that good

3. If someone does'nt know what you are talking about you sound like:

  A. A freak

  B. A really weird person

4. I can think of better things to name a bait color

5. Was'nt it an old Heddon color that Strike King ripped off anyways?

You will just have to win the Classic with it.

Lucky Craft- Sexy Chartreuse

Lucky Strike- Golden Shad

Tru-Tungsten- Chartreuse Shad

Bomber/Heddon/Xcaliber/BooYah- Foxy Shad

Noman-Chartreuse Sexy Shad

That is all I could find. But don't forget about the Strike King "Sexy Spoon"

I will never own any bait in this color!

I bought a few foxy shad and never considered it to be a sexy shad colour. The foxy shad looks the same, but the dark purple ish back is really nice and makes it different even though it's copied.

I like the Normal DNL sexy shad color best for sexy shad. Haven't used these colours much, but we'll see how it competes with the good old white and firetiger. I think it'll produce about the same. I Haven't really had a bait that stands out and catch more fish than another.

"Sexy time!"

Here's a possible variation.  

Bullshad.

Don't worry guy it's over...we are all moving on to sexy sunfish now.

I heard they are coming out with a senior citizen version of this called

   You just don't look good naked anymore.    :'(

Think about it. If it didn't work, nobody would be copying it, would they? The commercials will sell a bunch initially but for the craze to last this long and everybody else jumping on the bandwagon, it must work.

If you don't like the name, don't buy any.

JMHO.

I don't think anyone on here says the color didn't work.  It's just that some of us are tired of hearing that it is some magical color that fish just can't pass up.  It's just a color and should be added to your arsenal, but it's no better or worse than any other color.

As far as the name--I liked it at first, but when the rip-offs started coming out, it got a bit ridiculous!

I think part of its universal appeal (to bass, not tackle buyers) is that it contains elements common to forage in just about any waters.  Add in the fact that its available in a variety of proven fish catchers (fat cranks, spinnerbaits, lipless, etc.) and you have a winning combination.

I don't own a single bait in this color, though maybe I am stupid.  I resisted "baby bass" for a decade, and that was a dumb move....

Lucky Craft "Chartreuse Shad" is basically the same and has been

around for at least six years, probably longer. I have a couple

of "true" Sexy Shad, but I don't really consider them special.

Regarding "Baby Bass", that's my favorite color for hard baits!

8-)

Thanks man, now i feel even dumberer.... ;D

I was never really a big fan of the color personally...There's no arguing that it has produced very well.  I do have a few baits in it but I'll take a pearl shad bomber or LC over it any day.  As far as the sexy sunfish goes I took that one hook, line, and sinker.  Bought four or five different baits in it the first time I saw it but I fish lakes that bluegill are the main forage and I love to fish bluegill and sunfish type baits.

Call it what you want, Very productive color for me. Thye could call it ********* blue, id still use it.

Consider yourself lucky.  Some of us never did.  We learned to dress in the dark.

is anybody else tired of this whole corvette thing? sure there are other cars that go fast and attract women...and on and on and on...haha just had to throw that one in. it all boils down to preference and region. some work others dont(i.e...the new gto). sorry i am a car guy. but you get my point. personally i am sick of the whole swimbait thing but, i live in northern ohio. those swimbaits are as big as some of the bass i catch.hahaha! to each their own, i just wish i came up with it first. rats foiled again.
