Here's a pic of one of the fish I caught on the Dirty Shad last year. Not a giant, but a good fish for here in the upper Midwest. I've caught over a dozen fish on that bait, and all is great with the paint job/components. Not sure if there is an issue with the previous models, but the components and all-around craftsmanship of this bait, and the 2 other Fish 30acre baits I use frequently (Victory shad & VS Swimmer) is excellent. The baits come with high quality hooks, rotating hook hangers, and the clear coat has held up great. I know, not a review on the gill, but I thought I would chime in on my experiences with Fish 30acre's products. I have 2 of the new gills on the way, and will be happy to post a thorough, unbiased review in the coming months.
