The Sexy Shad color has been made famous by KVD and Davy Hite. It is a fish catching color that you must have in your box. The 4S crank bait has a square bill and is meant to be fished in the cover, like other square bill lures. It will imitate a shad or bluegill and will entice reaction strikes. Tie it on a 7’ medium action rod with 14 or 17 lb line. Fish it erratically with a stop and go and bump the stump retrieve.
