Flat sided crankbaits have been around for years, but have never made it to the big time outside the Southeastern US. These are super fish catchers, especially under tough fishing conditions. We have a limited supply of these baits on hand just in time for the shallow fall crankbait bite.

The Amistad Tackle Finesse Shad is a 1/4 oz., super high quality, handmade, flat sided crankbait that runs from 3-5 feet. The bait is carved from high grade balsa wood and features a nearly indestructible circuit board lip, stainless steel line ties and hook hangers, custom paint job, super tough exclusive Amistad Tackle clear coat and #6 Gamakatsu round-bend, black nickle treble hooks. The design and quality of craftsmanship are exceptional. We guarantee you’ll be happy with this bait.

Compare to the Strike King Flat Shad at $16.99.

Fishing Tips: This is a great bait for scouring nothing-looking banks and when the fish get up on river bend flats chasing shad, especially in the fall of the year. It is also a great bait to throw behind other anglers as the flat sides give off a totally different vibration and look versus round bodied crankbaits and baits with noisy rattles. We recommend throwing it on a medium to medium-light cranking rod and 10-12 pound test line.
