To me, this bait looks more like a baby squid so I think that I will try it both inshore and offshore. I can assume from the name that this is supposed to imitate a small shad or other baitfish. This is an interesting little critter called the Scam Shad that came in a 3 count of 4.5″ in what is called Blue Nado for the color. I can see how this will easily penetrate the mouth of a nice big snook. The hook itself is made of black nickel, is large and very sharp. The keeper which is the part that keeps the bait on the jighead is almost a second hook and I am confident that the bait is not going to be slipping off of the hook. I like the fact that the head is very rounded, hence the “Shroomz” name as it looks like the head of a mushroom.

jigheads in a chartreuse color which is my favorite for where I fish.

The package includes a 3 count of 1/6 oz. I have never used this brand of jigheads before so I look forward to it. Next just push the shrimp down on the hook and bring the hook out of the shrimp’s body on the top of the body where you had marked it previously, you’re done! Zman Power Finesse Shroomz – Jigheads

Next, I place the hook into the nose of the shrimp being careful to make sure I get it centered. I hold the shrimp with the hook next to it so I can see where the hook will come out on the body and mark that with my thumb. When rigging the shrimp you want to use a jighead typically in the 1/4 oz. I use a variety of colors, but New Penny is a color that has proved to perform well for me over the years. I am a fan of the Gulp shrimp and have had a lot of success using them for redfish and snook here in my local flats just outside of Cape Coral, FL. The first item in the tackle box is a 6 count package of Berkley 3″ Gulp Shrimp in a New Penny color. Let’s dig in and see just what it is that was sent to me. Ok, so we established that according to MTB there is $32.86 worth of gear in my box. This is because apparently, the people at MTB know how much us fishermen and fisherwomen love our stickers. Then, of course, there needs to be a sticker. On the last page was the description of this months contest and how to enter to have a chance at $100 in account credit. There were a few interesting things in here as well, such as an article of what gear ratios really mean and how that would apply to your fishing style. For me, my $14.99 yielded a retail value of $32.86 - not bad. Included is a monthly newsletter called “Dibble” that tells me what is inside the box this month and the retail value of it. There is also a YouTube channel to instruct you on how to use the baits in your box each month and there are contests each month where you can win free tackle, swag, and other gear. Inside the Welcome Aboard message is information about the subscription such as how you can add items to your next box and not pay to ship. When I opened the box I was greeted by a Welcome Aboard message. The outside is a brown box with their logo on it. I ordered the box on 11/7/17, it shipped the same day by DHL and arrived on 11/13/17 which equals 3-4 business days due to our having a weekend in there, so far so good.
