Is it just me or do tackle companies have a shad fettish. My favorite pattern and color is golden shiner and I feel like it doesn't get the respect it deserves. I feel like there isn't enough shiner representation in the lure world swimmers in particular. I even have a hard time with spinnerbaits my go to lure not called a swimbait I know there's glides and all. I would kill to get one of Jason vs fish shiners if he ever decides to sell em.Beautiful looking baits shiners are an amazing color i agree. i found the Molix Glide has a shiner-type color. 7” 2.75oz https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Molix_Glide_Bait_178_Slow_Sinking/descpage-MGBS.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG_Fishes Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Here's a picture of the glittered up hudd. It caught me a 6-6 and a decent smallmouth that day. I definitely think the glitter helped, I could see pieces falling off after hitting structure, almost like the scales of a real baitfish. I stopped doing it because it's a huge hassle, but if you can figure out a more efficient way to do it, it's definitely something to look into bassfiend72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwp Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Its too bad the spro's aren't more metallic. Though, now that I am looking at it..... a fishing net over a black bait and some gold metallic paint and you'll have a great golden shiner with a scale pattern.

Kevinzap Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I completely agree. Shiner colors need to get more attention. I didn’t even know i had em in my lake until i snagged one and posted it here. I think the Flash Carp 250 does a pretty good job at imitating a shiner. Any generic silver shad/hitch type color should work well if you can’t find a shiner color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon P Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 To be honest I've never seen a shad. I think they're a conspiracy between big tackle and the tournament folks to sell more sexy shad baits! but on a serious note; look at European Roach and Rudd patterned baits. Practically the same fish and much more popular than shiner baits in the states. Savage Gear has a great line-up of shiner looking baits for the European market, CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
