Questions about EliasVFishing Extreme Swim Shad Striped Bass Soft Fishing Lure 5.5" (2 Packs of Four) Redfish, Bluefish, LMB, Musky

How good are these for inshore fishing??

Answer: They work great. I’ve fished them from jetty’s as well as the beach catching Stripers along the jersey shore. They have excellent action because they are soft. However that comes at a cost because they tear a little easier then I’d like. So if you’re looking for a great shad I recommend them.

Answer: These definitely produce fish - just make sure you have a good stopper on your jighead.

Answer: Yes. I’ve caught some nice flounder.

Can use these baits bottom fishing on a pier

Answer: You can bottom fish with these but you will need to vertical jig them to keep them swimming. You will need a weighted jig head to get it down there. These are the best swim shad around!

Answer: You can use them from a pier , but they are meant to be casted out and retrieved on a lead head.

Answer: of course i've had luck fishing them from my local piers

Answer: worked good for Strippers and Sheepshead

What type of jig head is best used with these swimbaits? What hook size, 5/0, 6/0?

Answer: I like to use a 1 oz. with 5/0 most of the time.

Answer: 7/0 or 8/0

Product reviews of EliasVFishing Extreme Swim Shad Striped Bass Soft Fishing Lure 5.5" (2 Packs of Four) Redfish, Bluefish, LMB, Musky

Rick F. : Too soft and don't really hold up to multiple fish ...

Too soft and don't really hold up to multiple fish, the actual hole where the hook comes out opens up when rigged and continues to get bigger with each fish. The material crumbles rather than rips. Have an extremely strong chemical smell which leads me to believe they are made overseas.

Hubert Chan : Awesome

Great for bass at night!!

Chuck : Worth the money

I love them I started watching this man on YouTube for about a year and some change now and decided to try them out and I love them few days later I caught a nice 30 inch striper

ricky ticky : Five Stars

great

Thomas Cupido : Awesome!!!!

Awesome for Striped Bass!!!

Francine IKWILD : They swim amazing in the water

I recently picked up some of these shads from Bernies bait + tackle in Brooklyn,NY. I am very impressed with the quality, and the slender shape of these shads are unique. They swim amazing in the water, can't wait to try them during the 2016 striped bass season.

richard : Five Stars

great

Amazon Customer : Awesome!

Finally got a chance to fish these Shads and they did not disappoint. Sits great on lead head for easy rigging and mutiple fish per shad. Stripers ate em up like a live one! Cannot wait to use other EliasV baits for other species this year also! Another plus I received them in no time! Awesome!

Jetmec89 : Elias did a great job with the design and material used for this ...

Ok these swim shads are killer for stripers and other predatory fish here in the northeast. Elias did a great job with the design and material used for this mold and I will be using these as long as I can still cast a line. I was going to wait a week or so before reviewing to catch some more fish on these but from using some from last season that were a gift from a family member I had to buy more and I don't doubt that they will perform flawless as always. Will be reviewing the other swim bait products as well. Good job Elias!

Jrp : Shape and design are good..

Shape and design are good...but the plastic is way too soft. I was losing 4 of these every time I went fishing for a few hours. Elias, work on getting some durable plastic when having these made. Would also be great if these were scented like a Gulp product.

James : Great action! Can't beat the full plastic body for securely rigging on any jigheads!

Great action in the water! Also, the full plastic body makes rigging on a jighead secure and easy. Much better quality than the Got-cha soft plastic shads, and I know that I'll be catching many stripers on these.

Timothy Mueller : One Star

Only one bag arrived

Amazon Customer : Love 'em! Soft and easy to work with

Love 'em! Soft and easy to work with. Swim great, look great and the stripers, blues and fluke have been hitting them all day.

Thomas Cupido : Awesome!!!!

Awesome for Striped Bass!!!

Coleman : BUY THIS BAIT

Very impressive plastic. Very firm with a great swimming motion. Going to be an amazing striper lure for trolling. Paired with a 1 to 2 oz mullet jig head you can get it to the perfect depth for the fish your marking.

Wayne : I won't go fishing without them. Best Striper results consistently

I won't go fishing without them. Best Striper results consistently.

Joe C. : Extremely realistic .. Great value for the money

these swim sheds are designed to swim...most other shads are light in the tail ..

Richard A Evan : Swim shads that work!

Great swim bait! Have used these 2 Seasons now and have caught 20-30 lb Striped Bass and Big Blues.

Brian M. : These are by far the BEST swim shad i have used

These are by far the BEST swim shad i have used. Striped bass can't resist, especially the white! Bluefish love them too. I used these in thr spring and caught well over 35 stripers to 38". These are the real deal and are incredible. Very "meaty" action filled swim shad

wangng : Little too soft, prefer tsunami swim bait more, ...

Little too soft , prefer tsunami swim bait more , cheaper and last much longer .

Coleman : BUY THIS BAIT

Victor : Bass love these artificial lures and they are durable

I bought a pack of these recently and am excited to use them this season. After fishing with Elias several times last year and catching dozens of stripers on these I can say that I have witnessed their effectiveness first hand. Bass love these artificial lures and they are durable.

Ryan Henry : Great soft bait

Great action on this lure. Has a great YouTube channel as well.

lauren naab : Five Stars

Best soft shads on the market. A must have for your striper arsenal. Great action.

Mike S. : Really Effective for Stripers in the Fall

I am just back from kayaking and caught 10 stripers on one of these soft plastic baits. They work, especially when the stripers are feeding. I love that it is a single hook which makes it easy to catch and release and every fish was hooked in a way that extraction was almost instant. I caught them casting and I caught them trolling. After I caught about 5 fish, the plastic lure would sometimes slide a bit down and I would put it back up to the top. The only other thing is that once in a while, a bluefish will snap off the tail. But that has been rare. Elias - you are the only reason I bought a fishing kayak and now, I have a hobby, in my own backyard, that costs me almost nothing and gives me endless adventures. Can't thank you enough and keep teaching us. We need to learn.

Brian M. : These are by far the BEST swim shad i have used

mikeymillionz : good build, and great action

well made, good build, and great action. Have these paired up with Kalin's bullet head jig heads and use them in NYC waters. these and the Elias whiptails are definitely in my early season striper arsenal.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Can't get enough of them!!! Just ordered more! Works on almost every species of fish. Shipment is always fast. Great product - highly recommended!

WSKayak : Excellent product, paired with any decent jig head this ...

Excellent product, paired with any decent jig head this swim tail was a top producer for me during the 2016 fall run of striped bass

Bathdubber : Effective soft bait

Great action in the water, first time using nailed 4 stripers on just a standard retrieve. No fancy jigging twitching or anything else.

Pros: soft body gives great action, actually works, reasonable pricing

Con: soft body makes bodies tough to use over and over, but super glue fixes this
