Question 4" storm wildeye shads

These work AWESOME!!!!!! Striped bass of all size love these. I picked up some 6" storm wildeye shads, but haven't tried them just yet. Has anyone used this bigger ones? What were your results?

Now keep it to yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I thought bigger(6") = bigger fish but I have caught 10 to 12" schoolies on the 6" size and keepers on the 4". Of course theres also been those days when the bass are gorging themselves on bait and won't tough them. Then there is the bluefish...............

th "bigger bait = bigger fish" theory dos hold some truth. The exception would be when the fish get "frenzied" on one particular type of bait.
That would be the main reason for having variety in your tackle box.
I've had schoolies that could barely fit the 6 inch storms into their mouth have the entire thing in their mouth. I had the hardest time just getting the thing out, let alone unhooking it.
They do work, but then there's the bloofish to contend with as well.
What I hate is that right after you put a fresh storm or sluggo on, you get a blue that gives you back a cigar butt for a lure. (They never seem to hit the older lures, just the new ones.)

I noticed tons of smaller striped bass are hitting the 4". Some are so small it's funny. I noticed that at my favorite fishing spot the striped bass will hits these 4" storms at high and low tides. Which is awesome Tons of small fish, but no keepers. Should I relocate or keep with this spot?

its time they start making them out of something else besides plasitic. It is against the federal law to dispose of plastic in the water regardless where you fish. Yet over ONE BILLION plastic fish are made each year.

They do work though.
