Bobby Garland Baby Shad

Where is the cheapest to order these right now

Bass Pro shops have a huge sale on them the start of every spring. Walmart or Academy Sports is likely to be offering the best prices now.

I usually wait till Bps sale in spring and load up on preferred colors.

I agree with others. When BPS or academy do their sales it’s amazing

I really like Lake Fork Tackle baby shad. Check em out! I love me some Bobby Garlands, but LFT is great also and 1/4 inch larger for them big ol gals

I normally do the BPS spring sale but I did not do it this year.

I agree with the apprentice, those lake fork tackle baits that look similar to the baby Shad was my go to for deep jigging in the winter, and they did find better sized fish. I have dozens of BGBS and probably need to restock myself but it’s trolling season here now and a curly tail is king.

For me I have tried several different versions of the baby shad including lake fork tackle and the bobby garland outperformed them all 99 to 1, but that is just my experience.

When I was using a lot of the "baby shad" shaped plastics, I had equal (if not better) results with Slabanator's Shad Body ... and they lasted a lot longer on the hook. Recently I've moved away from "baby shad" bodies in favor of the Slabanator's Devil Minner.

I have a big supply of both the Bobby Garland baby shad plastics and the Lake Fork baby shad baits. Since I now pour my own my favorite is the Yum Wooley Beavertail clone bait or the Berkley Power Nymph clone mold I have. Both are crappie killers.

there are tons of folks that pour plastic baits that will hold their own against the big names and in some cases their overhead is much lower and they can out perform the big names price wise as well .....just saying
nothing against Bg baits , they work well , but to say one is much better then another is ......
well let's just say this ,,,,a paintbrush is a paintbrush till it hits the right paws ....:cheers2
