Berkley has worked with the Pros to design multiple sizes of Flicker Shads to match the hatch. The unique action creates a flicker action that imitates a fleeing baitfish.
**As Berkley continually updates the 2" version of the Flicker Shad, you may see this in 3/16 oz. or 1/5 oz. variations.

First year trying this out and it did fairly well- caught stocked rainbows in three separate WV impoundments within a month. Seems to do better earlier in the year; likely because it gets down deeper than some standard trolling crankbaits to hit the thermocline. Hooks hold fish well. Purchased several new patterns. 1.5 and 2 inch in black gold produce.

Hot Crappie Lure
Although my buddies and I use it to troll for crappie, we have caught a bunch of white bass on it too. We use the one piece and jointed styles.
I had one in the box with Yozuri, Shimano and Daiwa equivalent lures. As soon as my guide saw this Rapala he grabbed it and started using it. He caught many cabrilla in the rocks, and large yellowtail in open water. At the end of the trip I asked him why he chose that one and he stated "because it works!"
It sure did, I was happy to see him filling our boat with nice quality fish. So I ordered 2 more bunker color, and 2 other colors for my next trip. Discount Tackle had best prices and fast processing and delivery.
This line seems to be a great middle-of-the-road value. There are certainly less expensive and significantly more expensive lines, but for the cost, this one casts really well, the line strength seems correct, knots hold correctly, and the color does not come off. Like all parts of a good fishing system, if selected to be in balance with the rod, reel, and lure weight, this product performs perfectly.
I have bought several different kinds of crankbaits but I have caught more and mostly bigger fish on these little John’s than any other. They are great !!
