  1. I agree with you about the rubber/plastic used with those paddle tails that hogie makes. I feel like you don’t get the same longevity as you would with tsunami or storms. I had only used storm and tsunami until I stumbled upon the hogie 1.25 oz and the profile/weight was perfect for the peanut run. After about 12-15 fish it started to break, the inner weight on the shad started to blow out through the the head of the plastic. The tail also started to split and break off.
  2. Personally I’ve used used storm and tsunami swim shads mostly in the spring to match the small herring and have had good results with them. On my retrieve I keep a steady retrieve speed with either long sweeps or short jerks of the rod. This year I had seen that hogy made a 1.25 oz paddle tail but the body of the shad is on the smaller side and it’s a pretty good replication of peanut bunker. I had very good results with this swim shad
  3. For me it comes down to a few different things. It really depends on the spot I decide to fish. If I’m fishing structure or a boulder field I will usually target the last 4 hours of the outgoing tide. For bars or bowls on the beach I’ll target the last three hours of incoming. It also depends on the sweep of current. To me a lot of different things come into play. But if you’re just going out to wet a line I feel as the outgoing tide to be the best.
