Overview
The Berkley Flicker Shad 3” Crankbait delivers an incredible action and premium construction - all for a reasonable price. No need to tune or tweak, every Flicker Shad is individually tank-tested to run straight and true right out of the package. It's also engineered with a unique weight transfer system. During casts the internal rattles flow to the back of the Flicker Shad 3” Crankbait for increased casting distance, and they also help balance out the lure on the retrieve. Designed to imitate a fleeing baitfish, the Flicker Shad's "flicker" action has been proven to elicit aggressive strikes from bass and other gamefish. Backed with durable, sticky sharp Mustad Ultra Point treble hooks, plenty of fish will see the bottom of the net thanks to the Flicker Shad. Available in several colors, the Berkley Flicker Shad 3” Crankbait gets the job done.
| Berkley | Length | Weight | Depth |

Comments: I use these for trolling for trout. It has out fished a lot of similar style baits. I'd replace the hooks with a higher quality though.

Comments: Just change out the hooks and you have a very productive crank/jerkbait! I catch more bass ( large & smallmouth), on these baits than any others in my arsenal. I tend to use them more as a jerkbait than anything else. Great lure at a very resenable price. With an outstanding arrey of color patterns... you can't loose!

Comments: They get bit by LOTS OF walleyes, but be prepared to buy a bunch because the back hook will break out of the bait. I DO NOT MEAN THE HOOKS BREAK, i mean the actual screw in piece that you attach the split ring to will break off of the bait. Any colors that mimic minnows will work

Comments: Just returned from Quetico Park in Canada, where I really got to put the Flicker Shad to the test & it didn't disappoint one bit. I had great luck while casting, but even more so when trolling. Walleye and SMB both hammered this lure! I had my best luck when using the Chartreuse Pearl & did pretty decent with Pearl White. The price point for such a versatile crank is second to none, so I plan on trying a few more colors as well.

Comments: Just bought some of these. Walleyes can't resist the thing. I bank fish the Mississippi in Minnesota. The color options are amazing. Even stained water isn't a problem. Just buy some, 3 or 4 bucks -
