Jared, that's what the host said. Using a larger baits not only has a better presentation but also weeds out the smaller fish. But, I had a small bluegill hit that 3" carrot jig bait. The only thing he was able to get in the mouth was the hook.

3 inch slab slayer black and yellow my go to. Honestly by what size shad I have seen in their stomachs that is way too small.

This shad was taken from the stomach of a crappie that was not all that big.

I too like a big bait,I pour my own from Jacob Baits .It's a 3 1/4 frayed tail (triple ripple)and have had great success with it.Also when a crappie hits a big bait,you know it,I guess they are trying to kill it.LOLand also I have caught fish that wasn't much bigger than the lure.It depends on how much faith you have in your bait if it will work.Good luck to you all.

Oh yeah,I use a 3 in carrot stick bait
