It’s a solid bait to have in the arsenal for sure!

Thanks for watching homie 🙏

Thanks for subscribing to the channel! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for watching! I’m actually in Japan, last minute trip so won’t make it to TD4

Thanks for watching my dude 🤙

Thanks for watching my guy🤟

Hahaha I hadn’t seen a big fish crush a bait that hard in awhile, got the juices flowing 😂

Owner all the way!

It gets my rocks off when I horse in 3lbers 😍

Love making em do a little water skiing.

It's certainly not hype. And being practically impossible to keep in stock is no coincidence.

Hell yeah! That’s a big one!

That’s cool! Glad you have found success with the bait!

Thanks for watching homie 🙏

@@crazybassfisher Anytime!!

I made one last year that went in depth on the build out!

Sweet! The bait just gets bites!

How big were the fish you were getting? I’ve got a pond in my neighborhood that’s full of 2-3lbers but I want to draw out the 4s more often

Thanks for watching 🙏

That’s a monster follower! Hopefully you get her to bite next time!

Sometimes you can get em with a senko or a jig after they follow

You’ll definitely stick some fish on them!

Haha weird how some companies will collab and not collab, maybe it’s a US verses American thing

Get out there and fish it! You’ll probably stick a giant on it!

@@crazybassfisher I will my problem brother is I have way way too many baits

Maybe, it’s been kind of hard out here lately and I’ve been traveling a lot, hopefully I can find some time and do a video!

Hopefully the improve on the colors in the future😂

Hopefully we see more colors come out in the bait in the future!

It’ll make that bait sink faster but you should still be able to achieve the chopping action!

That’s an incredible day man! That K9 does magic in the water!

I treat my Chad Shad like a down sized finesse version of the K9. I get similar longer glides on the Chad by streamlining its profile and increasing its inertia with neodymium magnets (holding the hooks up and out of the way) and plenty of lead tape up front as counterbalance.

Hey, how’s it going, I’m currently running a 15hp Tohatsu 4 stroke, it pushes my rig with one person about 18-19mph and 14-17 with two

@@crazybassfisher OK. Thanks for that information.

They have them at cabelas/bass pro shop. I got every color in 3 days. Tackle warehouse had everything backorder

@@deebz22 closest cabelas or bass pro is 2 1/2 hrs from me, I’ve kept my eye on TW but always says backordered. The joys of living in BFE 🤣

@coty7228 I live in New Jersey so is mine. 2 hrs to Atlantic city or 2 hrs to Pennsylvania. I ordered online. Was in the mailbox in 3 days. 2 days earlier than it said. I thought since it wasn't at Tackle warehouse bass pro shop was gonna send me a notice after I payed but nope it showed up

Yeah, it’s weird, hopefully Spro ramps up production!

I haven’t fished one yet actually, been eyeing them for a little now and might pull the trigger on one!

And probably sold out already.

Nice, hope you scooped some!

Nice! Glad you found quick success with the bait!

I only fish FC these days, 16-20lb is good

Freaking crushed it😂

I put size 1 or size 2 hooks on the bait

I love it, super solid build and frame, smooth and stylish, everything I like in a reel

@@crazybassfisher been throwing mine with cranks and chatterbaits, might try it out for a lighter sb rod, that bigger handle lowkey crucial tho

That’s awesome! The baits flat out just get bit!

Curious on if Spro will make them more readily available or will keep the supply low to keep the demand high

😂😂

My two took 13 months to arrive.

@@greenpighunter6930 DANG ! I'm expecting 8 weeks or less but no idea. They sell out immediately

Yeah, hopefully Spro picks up production on them soon!

Bass pro has some right now

I found some at a tackle shop an hour away from me. I found out through IG by following them. So far, they’ve had two drops and they didn’t sell out as quickly as I thought. I’d around to your local shops and check.They’ll drop without any notice most of the time.

Spro needs to start pumping these things out, guys need them😂

Yup, not great stock hooks, don’t know many baits that come stock with great hooks!😂

@@crazybassfisher truth

That is a major appeal to buying one of these baits😂

Boats man, always something going wrong with them I swear😂

I like to use either a size 1 or 2, the size 1 would probably be best!

@@crazybassfisher thanks!

Yes, I forgot to mention that, it helicopters a lot but still casts fairly well

That just sounds dirty 🤤

@@Goatse-monogatari_no_homo it's a large class of fishing lures called swimbaits. They're designed to catch big fish and only big fish. The technique started in Southern California more than 30 years ago because they needed bigger lures to catch the giant fish that unpredictably appeared during the 80's and early 90's in their deep manmade reservoirs. The fish they were targeting were in the world class range in size, 40- 50 pounds, and were considered an anomaly at the time by environmental experts and angling historians, due to the unnatural origins of the habitat and everything that unpredictably found a way to thrive in them. The specific lure that is the subject of this episode is known as the SPRO/KGB CHAD SHAD 180, and is a wildly successful collaboration design that is the first of its kind to achieve such commercial success, after 30+ FUNKEN YEARS, my LOW IQ COMRADE SHITEN MOUTH NO NOTHING.

You love to see it!

@@crazybassfisher it's like everything I imagined could happen for any angler, but imagined decades ago when nobody heard of big swimbaits to catch big Bass. I know Japan has really taken advantage of the opportunity to innovate and build up the industry over the last decade and a half. And before that there were the pike fishermen, and their metal lipped plugs, and other oversized creations like the original whopper plopper configuration. The east coast surfcasting striper fishermen with large wooden swimming plugs, hand made by the Gibbs family. But Southern California always seemed so off the radar for freshwater game fishing. Then suddenly seemingly overnight So Cal became the place to be and the pioneers of a new way to fish. I was there when and where it all started, even before Bob Crupi was busy putting Castaic on the national map. I saw the original versions of garage baits for sale at the boat rental stands that were the most third world looking concessions stands anyone could imagine, especially at Pyramid Lake. A place still considered obscure today, but arguably the birthplace of the big swimbait industry specifically made for largemouth, that we all recognize today, back in the mid to late 80's, I wanted so badly to participate in it as I got older having intuitively recognized the future of a burgeoning industry through my teenage years. especially after finding out a person could charge $20 whole dollars for just one lure. But all I could do was fantasize and express my justifications, predictions and desires for what I really wanted to do for a living back then. But was ridiculed and discouraged by my own parents. It's a satisfying feeling to know you were always right. And the way Kevin did it was pretty much how we all imagined it could happen for anyone of us. But most of all, nothing like how the AC PLUG was commercialized like an imitation and how Allen Cole would end up being treated by industry and sports fishermen alike as an imitation himself. This is coming from a person that fell in love with bass fishing when I was about 8 or 9 years old, and discovered Jimmy Houston on an obscure Southern California UHF television channel, KDOC CHANNEL 56. Now that I'm retired

Not any painters I know out here to be honest, yeah, leaving baits in the truck in Az is a no go haha

It can be bad sometimes 🙃

Hopefully Spro is making more soon!

She’s a helicopter for sure😂 still casts fairly ok though

@@crazybassfisher told my bro add a swivel to that thing 💀 the action is 👌

Yeah, kind of a bummer on the hooks but I have fished baits 2-3 times that amount where the hooks were not good

@@crazybassfisher that's insane. I bought 4x strong trebles decades ago. Strong hooks exist and should be included with super expensive lures.

Chop is key😂

Yeah, plastic material and mass production concerns that it would turn out to be an inferior imitation that could only become discouraging for people wanting to get involved in the big swimbait movement.

Yeah, glad to see it in person and fish it and find that the bait is well made and catches fish!
