Reply With QuoteI just tried a few couple weeks ago. The #6 is what you want for that depth. The only color I could get bit on was Chartruese pearl. In my opinion theres not a lot of good colors,compared to the Bandits.

Anybody troll flicker shads?
I want to try trolling some different baits. What length and weight flicker shad would get down to 10-12 ft with 10 lb test line? Also what are some good colors. I troll at the Big 4 mainly. Thanks in advance for the information.

Trolled it Saturday
Bite was slow but I caught a few good ones with it. I do think they roll a little unlike bandits. I had to put on a snap swivel.

I have a bunch I started using last year. I really like them. Found the black and silver to be my best color. Like Wilbur said the colors they offer are limited for crappie. Most lean more to Walleye. I have several of their colors but never gotten bit on some of them. As G said the Shadling is a good bait and a buddy of mine wears them out on Storm's Smash Shad. Think at times they just offer a different profile and wobble than the Bandit type baits.

I catch a lot of crappie on "standard" Flicker Shads but If you are looking for Crappie Colors - you can find even more from Retailers that carry the "Exclusive colors" like Mills Fleet Farm, Scheels and Cabela's to name a few. I would suggest trying some of the Chrome Flicker Shads (Crusher Series from Scheels) for sunny days and the painted bellies for overcast or stained water. There are a lot of custom flickers with "crappie" colors on Ebay as well. Also - putting the # 4's and #5's Flicker shads with a 6 foot leader behind Off Shore Tadpoles is a deadly way to get baits that wouldn't normally dive deeper than 8 feet down to 10, 12 and 14 feet. The Salmo Hornet is another great crappie bait when the water gets a little warmer. With warm water the # 7 flicker shad gets hot too!
Take a senior or a kid fishing soon!
