Dan Galusha of Dan’s Fish ‘N’ Tales® demonstrates Big Hawg Baits’ Swim Shad while using a Buzz Ramsey Salmon/Steelhead Air Rod. The 4.5″ Swim Shad is a great Swim Bait. We tested and tweaked this bait prior to giving it the final stamp of approval. It is a consistent producer by itself, or on an umbrella rig. The tail is slightly thicker and puts off a heavier thump when retrieved. This is ideal for a constant retrieve, 3/8 oz or heavier swim jig, or umbrella rig.
