Anyone try the #5 Glass shad that looks like a sheephead this summer.... I would think that this bait would be a good producer on Bago

PS,
If you are talking about the white glass, I bought them hoping to duplicate the Canadians while shads, and I did catch fish on them, but not as well as the Canadian pearl white. The rattles may be the difference or perhaps composition.
Two years ago, the brown tinted ones were my best, but not last year. Go figure.
Take care,
Jim

I've run the white ones a few times with some luck this past summer but they definately weren't the hot bait for me. I've got 3 white ones in my box right now and don't plan to buy any more based on my experience with them. A buddy of mine said he did well on the largest ones in that color and in the blue color though.

My best luck with the all while in the smaller sizes seems to be in early spring in the upper lakes. Just a nugget to store for the winter:)
Take care,
