Flat Shad diving crank

The "Flat Shad" is one of the first styles of baits I ever attempted and casts and trolls very well. Easy to tune, trolls very well at speed.

This one is about 5 inches long, unweighted, cut from poplar.

If anyone wants the pattern for this style of bait, shoot me a pm with your email. The Flat Shad is one of the "go to" baits for my friends and me and it catches muskies about as consistently as anything we throw in the water.

This one is in Tennessee shad pattern and I know it isn't fancy, but it is a very very good producer for muskies on all the waters we fish here in Ohio.

Paint the body white, then shoot some pearl over the white. Next paint the back gold and the gill plate gold and trim off the back and gill plate with a bit of black scaling effects and some gold pearl. Nothing to it. Try it, you'll like it.!;)

It is absolutely as fancy as Tennessee Shad ought to ever be or can be and still be Tennesssee Shad. Done right, as your is, it is one of my all time favorite colors, and has been for many years. I don't know of a more realistic looking bait in the water than T.S. on a well done flat side like yours there Vince. And a lot of fish back us up on that! Great Job!!!
