| Very effective either way use them for casting rocky shore lines in shallow water is a killer presentation. I also troll shallow with the #5 in 3 feet of water and that works great on windy days. Awesome bait in all sizes. |

| What I have noticed is when trolling them side by side with shad raps, I catch more junk fish on the flickers but they don't outperform the raps on walleye.
I was just out last night with my daughter trolling two of each. We got 20.5 and a 21.5" walleyes, one on a flicker and one on a rap, but the flickers caught 9 of the other 12 whitebass/sheephead we got. |

Location: Orland Park, IL | I always liked Flicker shads on winnebago. Especially the bigger ones when the season went on. That cheap sunglasses looking pattern was a favorite, as well as red tiger. That little rattle inside was nice 10 feet down at 60 back worked well around some of the east side reefs. |
