Thread: Srpro BBZ-1 shad vs. Tru Tungsten 4" shad

  1. #1

    Default Srpro BBZ-1 shad vs. Tru Tungsten 4" shad

    Both of these baits are very similar but i was curious if anyone had opinions on which was better, or if there are better shad like swimbaits on the market that are good. Here's what i've concluded...the tru tungsten looks a little cheap, but i like the idea that you can adjust the weight, and that there's two hooks (better hookup?). The bbz 1 shad is advertised like crazy and who can argue with bill siemantel? Help me out here!

    I've had luck with neither, but I haven't thrown them a lot either. I guess
    I kind of gave up on them because I haven't seen a lot of 4" shad
    swimming around these waters...

    Anyways, I like the swimming action of the BBZ Shad better, but the weight
    exchange thing on the Tru-Tungsten is way cool. I would rather stick with
    trout swimmies for the big ones...

    I have the BBZ Shad. It looks awesome in the water and I rip it like a fleeing shad. However, I bought the "Slow Sink Version" and it sinks 1' a second just like the fast sink? whats that about? I tested it in a 8' pool and it took 8 seconds to rest standing up on the bottom. THe versitility of Tru-Tungston would be nice but does it look as real as the bbz-shad. I have the lavender. Double hooks definetly would not hurt the fish sticking ratio. I think BBZ got the design right on this bad boy.

    Dodo - you must have 9,000 lures - either purchased or made. Are you a millionare, or just spend all your money on the fish??? LOL.

    I have the Spro BBZ fast sink Shad, haven't used it yet, but think it will be a killer in deep clear water like DVL.
