zarraspook Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I stopped by BPS today and thought I would pick up a few of the new hot bait.... They had a fair selection but at $6 each I only got 1.... Here is scan of the package with the dives too chart..... It is a little hard to see but, with 10/4 fire-line it should reach 28 foot with 180-200 feet of line out ??

Big Keene Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 i am in the process of having a machinist friend of mine alter an original Flicker shad by trimming the bill to make a shallow version. i love that bait, but i sure wish that they had a 3-4 ft version of size 6 or 7. also, this new bait looks interesting for sure.

Storm thinfin will do what you want without having to alter the bait. Early spring when they eyes are shallow I use them to run 3 to 7fow https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sms_alum Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 These look exactly like the old Berkley deep diving thundersticks. I think they just renamed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Keene ck at wally world in the trout bait section they carry a 3pk of size 4 filcker shad for less than 10.00 that might be what your looking for. i troll them on shallow flats for whites.

zarraspook Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 The best shallow troll'r with a bigger profile (IMHO) is the shad rap .... It is suppose to go to 6ft but it seems to only run about 4-5.....

Members Haulin Bass Posted August 21, 2014 Members Share Posted August 21, 2014 just fyi. "I" am a Walleye addict! And I am "SOLD" on Flicker shads. The absolute BEST crank bait in the store! But as they get more and more popular, I have noticed that the FS Crank is getting more and more defective. I spent almost a half hour trying to get a new Fick to track right,,,, and that was right out of the box. You have to test them BEFORE you troll or you will have a tangled mess in a very short time. I use the #7, and the Black and White (looks a lot like that shad wrap) is a real good flicker shad. And I LOVE the price,,,, $4.99 each at Bass Pro last I bout some on Father's day! But you will catch Crappie, Bass, Walleye, Whites, (AND SMALL MOUTH!) We caught the hell out of the smallies last fall trolling for Walleye. Never caught so many smallies in Stockton prior to that! I just LOVE those Flicker Shad,,,,, and when you are trolling,,,, and then you get hung up,,,, bring your un hung Flicker shads in as fast as you can,,,, and you'll catch almost as many fish wheeling in your lures off of a snagged line, as you would just trolling. Something about these baits, that they attract better the faster you go! When I watched the video at Bass Pro,,,, they showed the Flicker Shad would look like a strobe light,,, literally "flicker" in the light! TOTALLY AWSOME!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 they showed the Flicker Shad would look like a strobe light,,, literally "flicker" in the light! TOTALLY AWSOME!~ Which is why I always use the Flicker Shad when trolling thru a walleye disco. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.
