The Silver shad 3" 08 model raised two Pickerel one dropped ,one netted. This thin but wide profile is intriguing me and has caught Perch, Bass and Pickerel for me use the 2.5" 06 model as well. The 06 /1/5th oz. runs 3-8 ' and the 08 3/8th oz. runs 4-10' I have caught fish using it against rip rap and over weed tops .It has no rattle but gets their attention !
