Sexy shad, and believe it or not.... H20 Xpress makes a black and gold that I've thrown in just about everywhere and caught some.

it completely depends on water color......sexy shad has always produced for me in water w 2ft + visibility.......but i would throw a different pattern in stained water.....on rayburn and toledo bend, especially in the spring, any craw/red pattern will out fish any classic shad pattern..... but once the shad spawn starts, the shad patterns are hard to beat.

bream colors spring
shad colors summer

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
