All right guys, we're here on Lake Hartwell. You know, it's a big herring lake, around here in the Carolinas. You know, there's a lot of them. And Spro has the new, Shashimmy Shad. You know, this is a really neat bait. I'm not a herring professional by any means, but fishing professionally, we have to come to this part of the country. And so it really intrigues me how these fish get up on flat spots, clay, super fast swimmers, you know. There's so much different from Shad and those are where I'm from. But the Shashimmy swimmer really matches at it. It's really got a fast guarding action. You can see right there, it really moves side to side. And that thing flows in the water looks really good. You know, comes in a lot of different colors. You can throw this thing a mile. I like to throw it on a, you know, like something in a medium fluorocarbon 16, 18 pound, or something like a 30 pound braid. It casts really good, and you really don't have much to get hung up on because they're just up there on more or less nothing. Clay, flat spots, hard spots. Something you could really rip through the water or to get a bright sunny day, seems like it even works better. They don't get a good look at it. It makes a nice V if you want to wind it right on the surface or you can put your rod down and just burn it over the top of them. But it's a really neat bather than trees may catch a lot of fish 'em when we go to the herring lakes. Check it out comes in a lot of different colors.
