what would you guys suggest?

[Slick-Ackers]

im tossing and turning between a few hardbodies and i was hoping to get some advice on what i should get. well im wanting to either get the Bassday sugar minnow or the bassday kangoku shad 45 i mainly fish shallow sand banks with weed beds with hardbodies but sometimes fish the canals aswell any advice would be great thanks

[youngfisherman]

Hey mate

There are a heap of hardbodies out there that would suit your situation. Lures worth looking at would be Cranka Cranks, ZipBaits Khamsins and Jackall Chubbies. For cheaper alternatives, Atomic Crank 38's, Clear OarGee Lil' Rippers and Maria Cranks are also worth a look at. My favourite colours for clear water are Ghost Bluegill and a transparent pink such as Cranka's "pink bitts", for dirtier water I would go for black/golds, greens, browns and reds. All seem to work for me, couldn't see why they wouldn't work for you!

sorry boys not the colours im looking for but thanks anyways
and thats the kangoku vibe im looking for the kangoku shad if you had the c137 colour (gold) id be straight onto it but unfortunetly you dont :\

Will you be needing to make long casts? If you are shore-based then the Kangoku Shad would be the better option seeing as-though it is heavier and will cast further then the sugar minnow.

yes i am shore based although occasionally go out in a mates boat but never really thought of that thanks for the tip mate

[mitchmcm]

well i have a few sugar minnows and they pretty much suck (for me) only good when twitched very poor slow roll. the shads now there a nice lure cast well have a nice action dive deep but a high rod will get them at around 2-3ft deep. but then again thats my opinion. go for what feels best. mitch

Love the Shads. Very good lures, got more on the way to add to the collection.

[Slick-Ackers]

ok thanks guys i think my decision is made i was always leaning to the shad but i had to hear some opinions first

[shortbags]

Have been using a lot of Maria lures of late , the crank bait series cast a mile and they have three different diving debths , also been giving some of the shads a wirl , jerking them and then suspending , been grate for tuff conditions.

[Ca11um]

also the Damiki MU SP or Pontoon 21 Crackjack 38 are awesome lures!!
caught a heap of fish on them this year.

No secrets at all, same as most other similar style lures. Slow rolling works best I've found. Twitching and pausing always works. On the flats banging them into the sand can work as well.

What colours do you have??
