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.
Needed a smaller wake to throw on my MH rod, and this one fit the bill perfectly. It has great action, can be snapped so it has a walk when you're close to cover, and the prop actually turns and displaces the water behind it. The bait looks great as well. I picked up the "Real Flash Gill" and have already caught a few quality fish on it. One thing I recommend is upgrading the front treble to a slightly bigger one for better hookups! Overall, I highly recommend this bait for pond hopping. Nothing beats a topwater eat!
I use it everywhere, I mostly fish Rivers and Streams in Indiana and it works every time from dinks to 4lbs plus. The Smallies love it, find the color that works for the water conditions 3/8oz is perfect to drift down the current or bounce around lay downs. I do a simple conversation and trim the small tail tip rutter and under the tail. That shortens the swim action and gets the fish attention for an action packed day. The bite ratio is very impressive, I have turned my buddy on to the Gobius and it works. We hit a local stream and pulled out 183 bass walking from sunrise to sunset and tore up 15 Gobius.
