The Bio-Shad is available in five fishy colors that run the gamut from their flashy ‘Chartreuse Shad’ which will grab attention in dirty water, to the aptly-named color ‘Shad’ which is a dead ringer for a peanut bunker, to the all-around staple ‘White/Silver’ which will catch fish in nearly every situation. This makes them a double-threat, you can jig them using a lift-drop technique while you wait for stripers, blues or albies to pop up on the surface. These baits were designed to mimic dying shad, (which will make them a killer for early winter largemouth bass too), the action is kind of like a fast-falling leaf, a zig-zagging descent, and with three sizes, you can dial in the correct heft to get your bait down into the strike zone through slow to moderate current. With the explosion in popularity of using artificials for sea bass and doing it with ‘slow-pitch’ tackle, flutter spoons have quickly become a hot commodity. Then we come to the flutter part of the equation. The designation as a ‘flutter spoon’ might make some believe that the Bio-Shad is not capable of being fished on a steady retrieve, but that couldn’t be further from the truth, the Bio-Shad is an excellent ‘cast and retrieve’ bait with a wide tail-kick that can be fished at all speeds from a deep wobble to a frantic, shallow wake. Right away my mind ran ahead to September when I saw these things and, of course, I was thinking about albies, bonito and Spanish macks. That’s not my way of saying that FishLab got it wrong, it’s one of those tomāto/tomato things, and up here in the North Country we can really benefit from having a tin that can replicate this staple bait. ![]() FishLab calls this power-packed spoon a ‘shad’ but when any Northeast angler lays eyes on them, they are only going to see one thing: a peanut bunker. ![]()
