Great video isn’t it!

KVD provided a number of pointers on how to fish the red eye shad more effectively including:

    • Use different sizes of the red eye shad to cover different depth ranges
    • Vary the retrieve using yo-yo, stop n go, sweep-stop approaches
    • Keep the bait in contact with bottom cover such as stumps & grass beds
    • Use a few different baitcasting combos rigged with different line weights (helps with depth control)
    • Vary the speed of retrieve to help trigger strikes …
