mscocco Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Asked myself the same question - what I discovered is that the sport version has pectoral fins that stick out and these"rudders" allow the bait to burned with a faster retrieve without it breaking the surface like a floater or slow sink would. It keeps the bait fairly level in the water column. I managed to get lucky and grab one in tonight;'s release so I will see what happens. It's a floater but I'm not sure if all sports are floaters or not. I have two FS shads, one floater and one Slow sink so I can compare all three... hope that helps...a title..

You could try lead tape to get it to a slow sink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggfeast Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 My understanding is there are Sport floaters and SS. The floaters when burned supposedly “dive†like a half inch on the burn due to the pectoral fins. And for the SS the protruding fins keep the bait from planing up and burning on the surface. Never owned a Sport but have owned many of the regular FS Shads, which cannot do the above said things. Bloodkitty and PNW bass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
