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.

The flicker shads are the best crank bait I have ever used for walleye and crappie and for northern pike

These baits are very effective on all types of bass in our local lakes, and also can be used trolling for walleye. I recommend getting a variety of colors, so you can match up with water color & turbidity.
I bought the 3/8 and the 3/16 and both look amazing. The 3/16 pairs up perfectly with a keitech fat swing 3.3. Because the hook size on the 3/8 is bigger it needs at least a 3.8 or 4.3 swimbait. The weedguard on the 3/16 is too stiff but that can be solved pulling out a 3-4 of the guards.
Another great Daiwa product! The reel itself is extremely lightweight, and the small profile allows you to comfortably palm it for all-day use without any fatigue. I have been using mine for Swim Jigs, Bladed Jigs, Crankbaits, and 3-5" Swimbaits with no issues. The Zillion casts a mile and is extremely smooth. Oh, it also features a clicking drag! I would highly recommend this reel if you are in the market for a great all-around use baitcaster, or if you want to upgrade your current reel to something a little nicer! You won't regret it. Thanks DT for carrying all the speeds in both LH & RH. 5/5!
