Tacklewharehouse site says mid November. I like the looks of the Tru-Tungsten swimbait as well. Not sure which one I will chose.

I like the look of that one too. Arent they about the same price?

Same price. They both look nice for a SMALL swimbait.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

As soon as I saw the BBZ1 Shad in my Bassin magazine, I said, that's going to be my first swimbait.

Swimbaits are going to be my "project" for next season.

This bait looks amazing, I have been waiting for this bait to be released for awhile.

tyrius. reply :

Tru-Tungsten for me

Why does the Spro one seem to only have a spot for one treble hook? The removable weights on the Tru-Tungsten are a plus too. Also, I fish waters where the primary forage is not shad, but rather bass and bluegill. So the color selection is another plus for the Tru-Tungsten, at least for me.

senko_77 reply :

I haven't got to throw the 4" Tru-Tungsten, but I have a few of the Spro shads. They are so nasty in the water. I've caught a few with them, but I haven't really given them much time other than showing others how they swim. As the fall bite gets into full swing, this bait is really gonna produce.

Looks like Late October and Free shipping

HopelesslyAddicted reply :

Sweet I'm glad they're coming out soon.

What do you guys think about using the spro shad in waters that don't have shad?

Something tells me that the swimming action will be so sweet that it won't matter, but maybe I should get a tru tungsten?

GRIZZ reply :

Place an order today...

Have a few places this swimbait should be outstanding...

what else would you call it?

i think this is actually a good example of a swimbait. multi jointed, very realistic, realistic swimming motion without a lip. thats pretty much what a swimbait is.

there are some other so-called "swimbaits" on the market are questionable as to whether they really are swimbaits...... :-?

I know what you mean, but it just seems to small to be a swimbait to me.

.dsaavedra. reply :

its not the traditional, california big-bait type swimbait, but it is certainly a swimbait.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

It doesn't have to be huge to be a swimbait.

Swimbait is too broad of a term to try to narrow it down and say what is and isn't.

Everything from a 3.5" fish trap to a 10" AC Plug to a 12" Osprey are swimbaits. Hell people call a King Shad a swimbait and it is a jointed rip bait.

Mine Shipped yesterday, just in time for this weekend!

CFFF 1.5 reply :

Mine is shipping today and will be here on the 22nd.

utahbasser reply :

i ordered a perch tru tungsten and a natural shad spro.

the spro got here today and i can't wait to use it on sunday.

i went to a pond to see the action and its crazy.

i got a blue black herring spro instead of my perch tru tungsten so i either have to sell it or send it back. i'm not sure what i'm going to do yet. but i'm in the same boat. only a few lakes have shad and most have perch so the tru tungsten is good for color, but the spro is a better bait i beleive. its a great bait and i loved the tru tungsten until i saw this spro one today. its so realistic its rediculous!

mayassa reply :

I got mine in the mail today!

Very Nice

I am hitting the river in the morning, will report out.

sambrochill reply :

does anyone know if Basspro will be carrying these baits?

utahbasser reply :

mayassa reply :

I couldn't get out today, I spent the day replacing my break lines on my 1991 f-150. They burst front and back (Weird) on my wife glad she made it home OK. Will get out in the morning on the toon.

Huh. Just goes to show that theres all kinds of different people out there...

Just kind of depressing when you realize how dumb most of them are ;D

BossierBassHunter reply :

I liek the looks of it, but I think I'll be going for the Tru-T for two reasons.

1. You can change the depth it runs, and I need a wakebait, lol.

2. It has a bluegill pattern

GRIZZ reply :

Here's some info on the Spro 4"

http://www.tackletour.com/reviewsprobbzshadpreview.html

And Tru-Tungsten 4"

http://www.tackletour.com/previewtrutungstenfourinchswimbait.html

Spro's my choice

kayl. reply :

Why make a choice? Buy a couple of both!

mayassa reply :

I was able to fish it (slow sinking) today on a moderate retrieval it swam like a wake bait very cool, and tons of action this thing rocks! Slow retrieval it sinks with great action. I also nabbed a 18 inch LMB today with it.

It's work picking one up

mayassa reply :

Here is a pic the BBZ-1 is by my right foot.

kayl. reply :

Thanks for the report

I'll be picking one up, not sure what color yet. How does that Natural Shad look in the water?

Los reply :

So what colors are you guys using???
