Boris Ferguson –
I’ve used the Aruku Shad 75 in thick cover and it runs smoothly through the weeds. The rattles are loud and the fish are quick to react. The hooks hold well and the bait stays on the bottom like a real bait-fish.
Blake Langdon –
Great for targeting bass in murky water. The nose-down action helps it cut through vegetation and the color options match well with the water conditions.
Joan Hudson –
Fished it in a shallow bay and caught several large bass. The rattles are very noticeable and the treble hooks stay secure even in strong currents.
