The Matrix Shad has become softer and softer over the last 2 years. Which means they we have better action on the upside, but on the downside sometimes one trout one fish they are done, especially in summer temps we have. And not to mention quicker the bait tears up the more people we have to buy. I have found jig heads with the spike instead of the rings work better as far as holding the bait on after trout bites.

Tried them once and like spec said, they only good for getting one or two lunkers in someone's face then have to trash it.

I buy in bulk from Chags. They look just like Golden eye JH from matrix/vortex shad. I use them with H&H cockahoes and deadly Dudley's and they outlast the matrix shads 10-1 easy.

I've got about 180+ matrix shads so it's not a huge deal. I only buy them I bulk when I get a good deal. They have EXCELLENT action.

How much are the YM hi heads each? I remember them being more than what I wanted to pay I believe.

I caught a limit of trout today on a Yellamouth jigheads and two lil johns. If the bait would tear I'd just spin it around and rehook it. The only one I lost got taken by a fish.

Yep I just adjust it and it keeps rolling worth the money to me cause a good action bait will be soft so good jig head makes difference

Matrix and vortex are also pretty well priced, at the moment academy in lake charles has them on sale for pretty cheap look at the end of the rod aisle. I'm just happy they carry them around here now, I would have to get my family to pick them up for me in slidell.

Academy has them for like 3.49 or so on sale. Lake Charles Tackle carries it too which is where I prefer to buy.

I thought they held up pretty good, especially with the action they put out. 10-15 fish on a bait is plenty for me. Yellowmouth jigheads is what I use if curious... I actually need to order some more.
