The Sassy Shad® will out produce any other shad-type lures. It's classic tail design and supple body give the Sassy Shad® the natural shad action fish can't resist. You can also add a spinner form for added flash and vibration.

I have been using Mr. Twister lures for years and have gotten my two best fishing buddies to switch over to the brand.

When I am fishing, there is nothing better than a 2.5 inch sassy shad in white pearl and black.

This lure catches everything from bass in small Missouri creeks to Walleye and Pike in Minnesota. I buy them by the hundred cause I know I am going to be sharing them when I am fishing with friends.

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

In practice and during the BFL Gator Division event 1/3/2015 the 4" Sassy Shad on a 1/4 Lock Jaw Jigs swim jig has been the ticket. Slow rolled above and between grass clumps has been catching a bunch of fish!

I started using Mister Twister Sassy Shads about four years ago and it never fails to catch fish I've caught more fish with these than all other baits combined. I don't even take my big tackle box with me any more, all I take is a plastic bag with two and a half and three inch sassy shads pearl white and black, a couple extra 1/16 and 1/8 oz. black lead jig heads and I know I'll catch fish. This is in my opinion the best lure ever devised!!!

Tobby Blanchard – Galveston Bay, Texas

I have used this product every time I go fishing and it gives me very postive results, in catching trout, and redfish, and flounder, when I cant get any bites on a spoon are other baits I can always tie on a Mister Twister Sassy Shad, a white pearl or white pearl/black back color and fill the boat with fish, I urge everyone to have a package are two of Mister Twister Sassy Shad in their boat they want let you down.

Alex Lopez – Manasquan Inlet, Manasquan, NJ, New Jersey

Fish Caught: Bass, Striped

When fishing inlets in NJ, the 4" Sassy Shad on a jig head is my go to lure. I've caught striped bass and big fluke with regularity on it and have seen weakfish well over 10 pounds taken on this lure. I'm a believer for life.

John Kelland – Everywhere, Michigan

I am a teenage angler in southeastern Michigan, and I've been introduced to hundreds of baits throughout my life. Among the immense amounts I seen, the Sassy Shad blows them all away. I've introduced the Sassy Shad to everyone I fish with, and they all love it. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you, Mister Twister, for blessing the fishing word with this amazing bait.

Ron Fletcher – Alabama River Coosa River Lake Chains, Alabama

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Striped - Catfish, Blue

I'm almost affraid to pass this on. Y'all will fish the lakes out. But here goes.
Take a three way swivel and tie to main line then tie one 12" 20 lb braid leader to swivel and one Sassy shad. Then tie an 18" leader same lbs and another sassy Shad.
Use the Shad with hooks only no weights.
Like shooting fish in a Barrel. Stripes and Large Mouth. Big Blue Cats at the Dams too.
Awsome rigg

Jody Harris – Lake Murray, South Carolina

Fish Caught: Bass, Striped

After fishing for Striped Bass on Lake Murray in SC for 25 years I have found this bait to catch 50% of all the fish. We have fished 32 days straight and got fish 31 of those days. Pearl White is all I have tried but it works so why try something different. Keep up the good work.
