How to Tune the Shad

Text and photo: ktl

You perhaps think, that now this man has gone crazy, when has not caught any fishes. The photo is not of shadjig-soup, but of how to tune good vibrations on the shads. When shad get dry, they loose a lot of attracting movements. When you stop reeling, the shad should dive down with nicely vibrating tail. Old shads do not fish as effective as new, fresh ones.

Simple way to renew your old shads is to cooke them two minutes in boiling water. And the fishes love boiled shads with nice movements on the tails.
