Maverickrod Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Here's a glimpse at an 8" Gizzard Shad a friend and I have been working on for the last 6-8months.. After some testing and revisions I believe we have gotten it to where it needs to be. Yes, this bait was not hand carved out of a brooms stick( my respect to those who do) or a block of wood... but we are trying our best to make our best version of what will be a weedless, linethrough, and glide bait Gizzard Shad.... and NO... we will not use a Huddleston tail... #gargebuilt Rick misfitfishingco, johnjohnC, Good Year 71 and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUV-2-CATCH'EM Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Looks very nice...weedless line threw sounds interesting! And how do you plan to make a soft spastic bait glide? Just curious but that would be awesome Let's see the rest of the bait ? Keep the pics coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you plan to make a soft spastic bait glide? Just curious but that would be awesome Let's see the rest of the bait ? Keep the pics comin Justin, It will not be a soft plastic glide(hard bait). We are working on 3 different variations.

Deltaman Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Do you plan on making them available to the masses? Maverickrod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverickrod Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Do you plan on making them available to the masses? If there is interest and the bait turns out great, yes. I'll have a fishable proto soon. Deltaman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverickrod Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I finally had a chance to swim the bait. I was very pleased with the action and rigging. Time to test it out on some fish... Here is a glimpse of one painted. Weedless Gizzard Shad made to fit a 12/0 Owner Beast Hook.
