The New Berkley CULL SHAD Swimbait

[@SimonC82686]

For the folks that stocked up on the first batch of cullshads. Berkley is recalling them for inconsistencies in the hardness that compromise the action, so look up the replacement process online. You wont have to return anything, just submit a photo, you'll get sent a replacement sometime in August. The replacement requests have to be submitted by July 31st

[@jpfishing95]

They are garbage. Rolls out, blows out, runs sideways, won't stay straight. 6in and 9in run the same way. These are absolute ass. I just bought 4 about 3 weeks ago and have yet to find one that runs straight or will even stay upright in the water column.

[@SimonC82686]

​@@jpfishing95 and that's why they are being recalled and Berkley's offering to send replacements from the next batch at the end of the month to whoever wants their baits replaced. Send in your replacement request. All the prototypes they pushed out weren't garbage, it's just this first batch of baits they pushed out a month early into market are

You can also look up what they call a grenade Waite we use them on glide, bates and other things to get down into a deeper depth and they work great for this type of stuff also

The 6 inch Cull Shad swimbait has two swim actions. Reel it slow for a wide tail action, and faster for a tight action. Very versatile bait. It is a good bait. I have not yet tried the nail weights options yet.

[@DanielEliasFishing]

I really like putting in a 1/16oz and fishing it fast

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Obviously I’m a huge Megabass fan but I’m pretty impressed with this particular Berkley product…

[@DanielEliasFishing]

Give it a try. I think you’ll like it a lot

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Definitely will man. Thanks for the info!

[@geraldgreen6993]

I live here in Minnesota, where we have 10 and 20 pound Pike and Muskie. This is a great bait for Largemouth Bass but it's a secret for trophy size Pike and Muskie. Thank you hope to meet you someday and go fishinh with you.

[@DanielEliasFishing]

I have still never caught a big Muskie. It’s a bucket list item for sure.

[@8E4N53K4NS]

Just grabbed one today for my fishing trip in northern Ontario I leave Sunday will be there for 2 weeks 😁😁

[@repairdrive]

Its between this, the Bass Mofia bait or the Magdraft. I'm definitely going with this one!

[@DanielEliasFishing]

Good choice!

[@mikegaston3170]

Great INFO THANK YOU !!! Fish-On!!

[@DanielEliasFishing]

Glad to help

[@taychamberlain7614]

With what pound test did you use for the 6” cull shad?

[@DanielEliasFishing]

15lb Trilene fluorocarbon

[@dennisederer3594]

This bait appears to be an exceptionally versatile bait.

[@DanielEliasFishing]

It’s pretty awesome!

[@ctekken3536]

Its a little late now but the clip that hold the hook broke on the first fish i caught. I haven't used it since.

[@SRH1991]

Can you update us on the release. They said June. But what day in June??

[@DanielEliasFishing]

Some distributors should be getting them soon.

[@SRH1991]

@@DanielEliasFishing Like soon soon lol

[@DanielEliasFishing]

@@SRH1991 I have a feeling some stores will see them in July

[@DanEvan]

Able to disclose the weight on the 8” or rough estimate? Us saltwater surf guys are loving the look of that unit. Thank you for the video regardless of what you can share 🤙🏼

[@DanielEliasFishing]

8” should come in right around 3oz, maybe slightly less

[@DanEvan]

@@DanielEliasFishing thank you sir.

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

Snook will murder these

[@kingoo2334]

Do you know the msrp of this lure?

[@DanielEliasFishing]

I haven’t asked but I’m sure it will be worth whatever they charge. 😝

[@tucsonarizonarealestate]

Which Veritas. There are several Veritas rods?

[@DanielEliasFishing]

7’3” MH for the 6” and I like the 7’9” MH Veritas Toro for the 8”

[@tucsonarizonarealestate]

@@DanielEliasFishing thanks!

[@Caseyamburn]

I literally just bought like 15-20 6-7-8 in baits. Really ready to get on them (7in being the glide)

[@DanielEliasFishing]

Yeah buddy, good luck!

[@AZAngling]

Im excited for this swimbait but what i may even be more excited about is never having to hear anyone say mag draft ever again 🎉🎉🎉

You’re not ready for the “mag draft impersonator” comments?

[@bradleyrussell1973]

MAKE SURE you buy from a large dealer!!!! Small tackle shops may not go through the trouble of getting replacements! Larger stores will have theirs removed from stock.

Bait is garbage. Wont run straight at any point, no matter the line size or retrieve. Bait blows out, rolls, runs completely sideways. Ive got the 6 and 9in multiple baits. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BAIT. Unless they fix these issues and have a recall these are garbage.

[@DanielEliasFishing]

@jpoutdoors95 You’re not wrong. The entire first batch of baits has been recalled. Go to the Berkley website or social media and follow the link. They will replace all of them free of charge. No need to send the ones you have back.

[@jpfishing95]

@@DanielEliasFishing Thats good on Berkeley to recognize a failure and own it.

[@DanielEliasFishing]

@@jpfishing95 for sure. The ones that went out were nothing like the ones I’ve been fishing. Super proud of them for standing behind the bait and replacing everything with just a picture and no receipt required.
