Can’t seem to find any place locally here in the St Paul area selling storm smash shads. None at Cabelas, Fleet Farm, Gander. If anyone sees these on the shelf, let me know!
Even Cabela’s on line has limited selections. Will go that route if needed. Just like buying cranks off the shelf.

Smash Shads don’t work SHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Saw some at the Cabela’s in Rodgers last week.
Check out fishusa.com. They always seem to have a good price and some colors not very many stores carry.
worst case you can buy them directly from rapala.com they ship from I believe Eagan so they come within a couple days in the Mn area
I found a whole bunch in the clearance bin at fleet farm a couple of months ago. I thought it was weird. Hopefully they aren’t disappearing!
Does anyone know why these have become so difficult to locate at local retail locations?
These are my go to in the river and need to stock up for the upcoming season.
Thanks.
Still not seeing them anywhere…. Think I’m going to place an order with fishusa.com site mentioned above.

You didn’t buy enough and the store buyer replaced them with different SKU’s
Placed an order with the fishusa site on Friday. Order here today! Free shipping on order over $50, no tax. Pretty impressed.

There were a few sizes and colors out on Friday. Everything looks back in stock today. Since the first order went so smooth I’m going to get stocked for the foreseeable future!
Fleet Farm had a sale last year for $2.00 a piece for them… Guess who bought the store out of what they had. Unfortunately I have never used any of them yet.

Did the exact same, got about 50 of them…they work great. Two have broken at the lip, however…not even snagged, just broke…both were the matte UV colors.
Kruger Farms has them at krugerfarms.com

The UV models have a different plastic for the lip. Might be the problem? Have not had this issue.

Looks like they only offer the #7. The fishusa site has the 5,6,and 7 sizes. However, some colors/sizes are now out of stock….

Like they say, money can’t buy happyness but it can buy crankbaits. And that’s the same thing.

what size do you like or recommend Jon ?
any hot colors ?
Size 6 and 7. I like all of the color patterns.
Top picks for Mille Lacs are: Chrome yellow perch, Black Chrome Orange, Fire Perch, Metallic Yellow/ Black BK, Purple Pearl.
River – Add in the brighter Fire Perch, Green Fire UV, Orange Fire UV.
Big fan of this crankbait. Always run true out of the box. Stay tuned fish after fish. Run them into rocks, snags and they just keep going.
Add in the easier to find Jr Thunder sticks. Another great bait.
Hope they keep making them. Don’t see them on the shelf anymore. Had to stock up!

On Sale today
in stock only !
thanks Jon….
I want to find these on sale. I bought quite a few early last year and did great on the river with them, but the river ended up taking them in the end
Nearly a two year old post and I have not seen any in stock anywhere! Let alone on sale. Good luck!
