I purchased just one of the steel shad lures at the fishing show in Indy. I live about 2 hours West in a small town, Hoopeston, IL. I used the lure for the first time a few days ago. Temperature was 45 with a fairly strong East wind. Not supposed to be a good day for fishing. The water temp was 48 degrees but for one area next to a power plant where the temp reached 62. I have only been fishing for a couple of years and was with a buddy of mine. We always have small, fun wager. $1.00 for the first, $1.00 for the biggest and $1.00 for the most. I never win. He's been fishing much longer than I so I basically plan on losing my $3.00 each time we go out. We started in the warm water and about 30 minutes after we started, I pulled out the steel shad two casts later I landed the first bass, 5 minutes later I landed the 2nd. My fishing partner pulled out a lure that had a similar action but nothing took it. About an hour later we were in some cold water and had just mentioned that neither of us catch any fish in this cove. It always looked like a prime spot but never any action. It wasn't 30 seconds later, I landed my 3rd bass. Now for a guy who never catches fish in the early spring it was a very exciting day. I eventually lost my lure on a hangup on an underwater root and couldn't get it free. My line broke. I just ordered 4 more of the lures for me and two my buddy. He said he never wants to be shut out by me again. Those were wonderful words for me to hear. Just thought you might want to hear from a very satisfied customer.
