ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
I recently had the chance to test the Strike King Bitsy Shad in a local pond that only holds 2-pound bass and below, and it quickly proved to be a game changer. Fishing in a small, clear pond, I found that the Bitsy Shad’s compact size and realistic action attracted bites when larger lures failed. The premium size 8 hooks provided reliable hook sets, and the lure’s free-floating rattles added an extra level of enticement. One memorable catch was a 2-pound largemouth bass that couldn’t resist the Bitsy Shad’s lifelike presentation and accommodating size. The lure’s paint scheme held up well against the rigors of multiple catches, and the 3D eyes gave it an authentic look that truly mimics a small baitfish. For any angler looking to add a high-quality, versatile lure to add to their tacklebox, the Strike King Bitsy Shad is a must have.
