Cool, but they could have came up with a better name than EZ Shad. Sounds like a infomercial lure.

I would recommend giving Roboworm a call at: 1-877-GET-ROBO.

The official release of the Roboworm's new E-Z Shad swimbait at HBC-4 is entirely Roboworm's decision as part of their loyal and dedicated support of the HBC. We are extremely grateful to Greg, Mike, Randy, and the rest of the great folks at Roboworm for their support and generosity.

I do know that they will be available very soon after HBC-4.

Not even close, Mike. Roboworm has never played that game.

This bait is nothing like the Black Dog. You'll see what I mean when you actually hold them next to each other.

big_gorilla · Post by **big_gorilla** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 8:31 am

Don't sweat it Ron there's always guys on here that cry when someone else comes out with a bait.

It's guys like that turn me away from the product they fish.

I've always been a Robo fan and always will be.

Thanks Ron I will contact Robo.

Great Looking bait!
I think my Bass-Trix's spot in my boat may be up for lease soon..

elfish16 · Post by **elfish16** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 8:57 am

I couldnt' agree more...those baits look incredible! I know that hologram shad bait will be killed and the trout should be good as well!

very excited about these baits... going to put a 25lb sack in many boats this next year!

Nunyo Bizness · Post by **Nunyo Bizness** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 9:21 am

Yeah Ron! You tell um. The two baits are not even close to looking alike. The Black dog does not have a fin on top for one thing. That was some real weak cheese to even think they look alike. No rip on either bait, I'm sure they both work......but I can't wait to get my hands on some of those Robo's

I saw a few at the "Bass-A-Thon", and the finish texture you'll have to check out!!!

The pic on your site looks way different and the colors are not what they said would be released? Where are the trout and shad patterns? Also why would you rig a weedless bait on a leadhead?

Hmm, seems you have the saltwater versions. I don't think the EZ Shad comes in the colors you list on your site. Those rigged with the leadhead are not the same bait!

Do you actually have any weedless ones?

Different body shape, different finish, non weighted head, fin, one is 6", one is 5".

big_gorilla · Post by **big_gorilla** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 8:55 am

Tin Can the reasons the colors look different is because those are the saltwater version. I believe the freshwater ones will be released at the end of the month. That's what I was told when I called.

JustinD it idiots like you like that keep me from buying products you push. Notice Mike's comments are gone now.

Show us the top fin on the weedslinger like the Robo one has and how similar the tails look with the extended fin.

They are being sold as the EZ Shad on the link posted!

I believe they are not the EZ Shad, but the saltwater NON weedless version.

Someone better take a look at what they really are.

JustinD · Post by **JustinD** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:01 am

Now gorilla did I insult you you f***ing POS. No I just commented that they look very similar to a weedslinger (without) the weighted head. I could care less if you buy what I use or not. In fact I'd hope you have enough sense to try something new and get off evryones else's nuts.

Justin don't like being insulted! I can tell ya that.

The bait is similar no doubt, it's not the same though.

Don't think so. The Weedless EZ Shad version does not come in the colors you have listed. The Saltwater version DOES!

I just want to be sure before I order and I really want some of these.

big_gorilla · Post by **big_gorilla** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:11 am

JustinD sorry i came off mad. If one of the moderators could they can erase that.

I have the weedslinger and like the bait alot. Alot of baits look the same and the good thing for us is we all have options.

JustinD · Post by **JustinD** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:13 am

I see it now.....They are totally different baits.......HAHAHAHAHHA. One has a fin and the other doesn't....Ones totally weedless too.....Hey I think Roboworms makes amazing stuff and I'm sure I'll give the SB a try just think they look very similar thats all. I'm sure they have different actions.........I didn't even read the posts above my post was my first reaction to the picutre......HAHAHAH even funnier now. Calm down gorilla and have a joint and some cerveza.

I just got off the phone with Roboworm and these baits are ABSOLUTELTY not the EZ-Shad.

Please take them down as these are the NON WEEDLESS Saltwater version.

Call em yourself if you don't believe me.

Just a heads up to anyone who is looking for the bait, it's not available yet.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:15 am

Dont you guys know you can edit your own posts?

And It still looks like a Weed Slinger to me. Maybe if I had them side by side in my hand they wouldnt. But when I first saw the pic that was the first thing I thought.

big_gorilla · Post by **big_gorilla** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:16 am

I actually picked up some of the saltwater version ones up for fishing deep water but I'm waiting for the weedless one to come out.

I did play with them and they swim nicely.

Enough with the it looks like a weedslinger crap. Doesn't a jig from one company look pretty much the same as another? Its the same type of weedless swimbait. Roboworm rocks, and so will this bait. Get out and fish. Some of you worry too much about this kinda stuff.

Who is worried about anything? I just made an observation. Nothing more.

Maybe it is due to it being so EZ to catch fish on them. Bill K

Sure want some.

lunker punker · Post by **lunker punker** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:25 am

I have been begging Brakebill for some these forever. They are sick. They are not like a weedslinger at all and I must have a pile of them yesterday. Looks can be decieving. I have seen them in person and cant wait to fish them. Will they take over my box of slingers? No. Different applications and size. The colors look amazing. Brakebill is a stand up guy and would never take a hack at copying my baits.
