Preserved Shad

Bestbait Preserved Salted Shad

Salted Shad are killed in a salt brine solution and cured in fine salt.  They are excellent fishing bait for catfish and trotlines.  Great when you don’t want to carry a bucket around or you can’t use live bait.  We have been preserving shad for 30 years and guarantee these are they best quality you have ever used.  They are grated for size and preserved fresh from the lake.  We don’t preserve bait that has already died because they lose their color and do not last as long.  These shad will last for a month if refrigerated or for a year if frozen.  Plus the salt keeps them from freezing together and turning to mush when thawed.

All Sizes are available in  2 lb. bag.

Regular Shad are available in 4 oz. bags

You can refrigerate Shad to extend shelf life.  You can also freeze unused shad for a later date.  Just pull Shad from freeze 24-48 hrs. before fishing trip to thaw.  If shad become brittle from drying out and lose flexibility then you can spritz them with some water and they will regain their life like flexibility.
