Very cool little bait unlike anything I've fished before. Throws incredibly given its small size. I fish it on the 6'10" med reg Essence and 10# or 12# line. It'll run to nearly 11' on 10# fluorocarbon, 9'+ on 12# as observed with FFS. Pearl shad has caught bass from 10 oz to 3 lbs, and numerous crappie.
