Spro KGB Shad

Beat Champ to the local tackle shop and snagged one before Champ showed up and cleaned the place out.

Wow at $60 a pop I would be too nervous to throw one.

1/2 the price of a tank of fuel!

Nope 1/4 the price of a tank of fuel but still a lot of green backs.

$60 is pretty cheap in the big swimbait business. 

 

I picked up a phantom rainbow a couple weeks ago and have been doing well with it in my local lakes. No big fish yet, but it's just a matter of time.

I picked one up and I still can’t figure out if you should chop it on the retrieve or slow glide to side with rod twitches. It seems like it sinks fast on the chop when I’m trying to keep it below the surface

How do you like the Spro version compared to the original?

I've done well fishing it with fast chops and slower gliding retrieves. I seem to miss more on the slower retrieves than the fast retrieves though.

They're a nice bait, not the original but for a normal weekend angler that probably won't throw them a ton, they'll do a lot of things the original will do.

We call Wednesday "Glide Bait Wednesday" at the shop (Hook, Line in Rogers). We get the KGB's in mid-afternoon. Got 10 in yesterday and by closing at 6 we had 3 left. Chad Shads are sold pretty much as soon as enter the door. I think the SPRO glide baits must be on back order for us.
