Salted Shad 2 lb. bag. 2 1/2 -4 inches in length. 100-150 Shad per 2 lb. bag. 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 months on the shelf or for a year if frozen. Plus the salt keeps them from freezing together and turning to mush when thawed. Available in 2 lb. bag.
