After much headache with trying to come up with a Natural Shad, I've decided to stick with this one. Please let me know what you guys honestly think, it gave me a lot of trouble.
Marc, you do beautiful work! I like the shad very much! ~c~
Good Lord, you're an absolute artist! ~c~
Once again you've topped yourself. The Shad is incredable ~c~
I also think you did one hell of a job on them! ~c~
That is amazing! That lure looks great!
That natural shad is one awesome looking paint job. I would love to throw that out here in my local waters. ~c~
That Shad is SICK!! I don't know how much effort you put into it, but know that it was worth it because you're hard work shows. ~c~
That's probably the best shad pattern I have ever laid eyes on. No lie. ~c~
i just noticed the shad has a square bill too, . . . is that to commemorate KVDs classic win ?? :)
That is almost too pretty to throw! Well done!

Absolutely!!! Good grief that is amazing. I'll see it's the best pattern of ANY kind I've ever seen.
those look great! I dont know how that shad pattern frustrated you, i can only imagine how mine would come out! lol
That bait is something I'd buy and throw in a heartbeat...I know those big "sows" over here would eat up that C.B. Love to buy one off you.
Looks just like some of the baitfish in my area! Very nice Work! ~cf

Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Might not be a dead on copy of an actual shad...but it is extremely close...and has a lot of the correct triggering characteristics in terms of visuals.
One area of question: I seem to think that the real find glitter works best when it's a lavender/purple hue...and with the newer UV focus, I'm now wondering if it has anything to do with auto-flourescence under water?
