I catch a ton of sandies in the shallows at spring time on that exact lure.

I prefer the 1/2 oz size in Pearl White for Sandies and Hybrids. Troll at 10 feet or so deep and under 2 MPH. One thing you do have to be careful about is getting stuck. There are 2 sharp treble hooks and Sandies are wiggly fish. Been stuck way past the barb twice this year. Had to push the hook through and cut the barb off.

I don't go too fast but I go pretty far.

My home lakes are packed with bait @10 to 20 feet down. The predatory fish are there as well. Hybrids love cranks. They will destroy that fat free shad in short order. However, you will enjoy the ketching , and yes to underscore the above , sandies will hit that lure. Don't be surprised to tail hook a bunch as tail slapping is in full swing.

Citrus shad is a good color and a big sandie won't hesitate to hit that big deep diver when on the feed, as long as a hybrid doesn't get there first. woot

I have 10" - 12" whites attack my 5" Zara Spook all the time, so you will not have any problems with that bait.

I catch a bunch on that same lure. Have caught some whites that were shorter than my big pencil popper when the top water bite is on.
