Rusty's Wounded Red Belly Shads are highly effective bait for catfish, stripers, bass, pike, and walleye. Over time, the bait naturally develops a brown liquid shad oil inside the bag, intensifying its scent and attractiveness to fish. This aging process enhances the bait’s effectiveness, making older shads even more successful at enticing strikes. Each 4oz pack delivers premium, proven performance for serious anglers.
