Golden Shad

Golden Shad is built with a No Colorant – 24K powder back and a No Colorant – Opaline Blue belly, giving the bait a clear top-to-bottom contrast that reads naturally in the water. Suspended glitter—24K D.O.P Powder, Black 4201 (0.062″) (1/16 tsp, 1/8 tsp), Opaline Blue D.O.P. Powder, Black Whisker (1/16 tsp, 1/8 tsp)—adds controlled flash that mimics scale flicker as the bait rolls, swims, or pulses.

This blend shines in clear to lightly stained water and on pressured fish, where a believable forage look gets more committed bites. It’s ideal when fish are feeding by sight and you want flash without an artificial look.

Best application: swimbait/baitfish presentations (pattern family: Swimbait, Leech).

Blend build (per 4 oz): Back: No Colorant – 24K powder – 1/16 tsp drops/4oz | Belly: No Colorant – Opaline Blue – 1/16 tsp drops/4oz.

Recipe note: 24K Powder and Black (0.062″) Glitter in Back only. Opaline Blue Powder and Black Whisker in Belly only.
