Comments: I always passed on these, would walk or scroll right past. Boy was I wrong I actually really love these I have a number of different sizes in Chart. Chart Shad, Shad, and Perch. The smaller sizes can cover everything from crappie to sauger (even a few bullfrogs). I will say if u get the 4 or 5 versions order some double swimbait hooks and learn how to Stinger AND Trap rig your baits after u do they will work well any time of year any water

Comments: My friends and I used the 4" pearl red eyes all summer of 2017. We caught 120 pike 20 walleye 30 bass 14 catfish and a few other species that we toss back. Fish for the entire winter thanks to these baits. Im hoping they make a 5" or bigger because i lost 2 Musky on these baits but the musky literally pulled the jug right out of the shad. 64 of the pike i caught myself.

Comments: FOR FIRST TIME USING I GOT 6 BASS IN A FEW HOURS AT THE LAKE MOST BITES IF NOT ALL WERE CAUGHT ON THE DROP. I LIKE EM AND WILL BE GETTING MORE OF EM.I GOT EM AT WALMART IN SHAD PATTERN. I WANNA TRY BASS AND A CHARTREUSE COLOR, GOT MINE IN DEEPER WATER LIKE 6 TO 12 FEET. THIS IS ONLY MY 2ND TIME USING BERKLEY AS I USE ZOOM AND GARY YAMAMATO LURES. IMPRESSED A BIT CHEAPER THAN THE KEOTECH I THINK THE WEIGHTED JIG HEAD HELPS

Comments: Best small soft swimbait out there. Love the shad color. Went up to maine for a week and used these. At first I was using stick baits but kept catching dinks. Switched to these swimbaits and wow I caught so many bass from 1.5-4lbs that I lost count. Definetly try these out. They are fantastic

Comments: In my opinion, best looking 2 inch shad imitating swimbaits out there. (Shad color) The only problem with the small ones is that after 2-3 fish the jighead gets ripped out from the soft plastic body. Cheap in price and durability. I throw these out for crappie and perch. Occasionally some bass'll hit this. Slowly with minor twitches should do the job. Overall 5/10.

Comments: This are decent swimbaits. They catch fish, not the best out there but they get the job done. My only issue and recommendation is do not take them out of the package they come in. When u put them in a box and let them sit, the tails curl and they are ruined.

Comments: Slow day fishing, nothing seems to be hitting. My friend offers me one of his Berkley Powerbait Swim Shad, white with red eyes. Things went crazy with numerous hits from all size of bass, ranging from 3-5 lbs. Moves very well in the water with very sharp hooks. I've hooked myself on a couple of occasions since fishing with them. If I were king for the day, I'd try to make a weedless model. Because of their sharp hooks, they will get snagged on limbs and branches if you're not careful, but otherwise an excellent swim bait to toss in any water.

Comments: My son and I use the 4,5,and 6 inch baits in the Shad and the Silver Mullet colors and we catch snook and tarpon and the occasional Goliath Grouper on them they work well and with a bit of super glue every now and then we are able to catch multiple fish on each bait

Comments: To be honest I really don't advise these, mine didnt swim well and had to be dragged very quickly to get even minimal movement. Also hooks were not sharp and rusted after a few months.
