Lindy Shadling...

[A.J.]

I'm happy with most of my tackle box - quality stuff. However, I have this blue and white Lindy Shadling taking up space. I haven't fished it a lot, but I can't remember ever catching a fish on it.
Are they any good?

If it's the blue fleck baby shadling with black ladder back, it is obviously of questionable value to a dedicated walleye fisherman. Please feel free to send it to us (at no expense to us!) post haste!

Seriously,A.J., baby shadling have been our most consitent tournament and "meat on the table" bait. They've won us a lot of money. Dad custom paints a lot of our color patterns and we carry two plano trays full of them in the boat.

1) Remove hooks
2) Attach a key ring and keys to where the tail hook was attached
3) You now have a Shadling keyring

Until I read Keri's post, I thought that was the only good use for the lure.
