THE SUICIDE SHAD The Suicide Shad comes in 3.5”, 5” and 7” sizes and each swimbait ishand-painted for themost detailedcolor patterns. Each one gets a multi-step painting process including a painted forked tail on each one that is combined with realisticmolded eyes to complement the paint schemes. The tail design ensures that they swim perfectly at the slowest retrieve with a side to side kicking action. The 3.5” version can be used on an Alabama Rig, rigged on a single jighead, or even as a trailer when you want a high definition look. The 5” Suicide Shad performs best on a swimbait jig head or on a belly weighted hook. If you need a bigger bait for Alabama rig this also is a great option. The 7” Suicide is a really special large swimbait. This bait performs well when you need to reel a swimbait slow. You can put in on a jighead or even on a belly weighted swimbait hook such as the Gamakatsu Spring Lock Monster Weighted hook. THE B5 SWIMBAIT The B5 swimbait is an affordable hand-painted line thru swimbait. Line thru swimbaits can often be very expensive and require special rigging. The B5 is easily rigged by simply passing the line thru the straw in the bait and tying to the belly treble. The straw is molded with an internal lead weight, so it is ready to go right out of the package. This bait is designed to run around 2-5ft below the surface of the water. It swims at the slowest of speeds with a tantalizing action and is a great choice when you need to throw a swimbait in clear shallow water. THE BB KICKER The BB Kicker is a swimbait that provides a big wide kick and wobbling action. This bait performs the best on a Jig head such as our Swimbait head or a belly weighted hook with a spring lock. Each BB Kicker is hand-painted in a multi-step process to give you high definition and realistic colors. It is available in 4.5” and 5.5” sizes.
