The Shad That Runs the Chesapeake
If you troll for stripers anywhere along the mid-Atlantic coast, you know the Rock Fish Candy Shad. This 9-inch rubber shad body has been a staple on mojo rigs for years because it does exactly what a trailer bait needs to do: swim with a consistent paddletail action at trolling speed and hold up to repeated strikes without tearing apart.
Buy them as singles to replace torn baits on the water, or stock up with a 12-pack at the start of the season. Three colors cover every condition. White for clear water, chartreuse for stained, and black for low-light situations. Pair them with the BWC Loaded 24oz Mojo or the Tandem Striper Rig for a complete trolling setup.

Durable Rubber Construction
These shad bodies handle multiple strikes and fish catches before needing replacement. The rubber compound is tougher than standard soft plastics, which matters when you are trolling all day and every bait change costs fishing time.
9-Inch Trophy Profile
The 9-inch length matches the profile of adult menhaden and other forage fish that trophy stripers feed on. Big baits catch big fish, and this shad body gives your mojo or umbrella rig the size profile that attracts the largest rockfish in the area.
Three Proven Colors
White for clear water and bright conditions. Chartreuse for stained water and overcast days. Black for low-light dawn and dusk sessions. Serious striper trollers carry all three and let the fish dictate the color selection.
How to Rig BWC Rock Fish Candy Shad
- Select your color based on water clarity and light conditions
- Slide the shad body onto your mojo jig or umbrella rig hook
- Push the hook point through the back of the shad for a secure hold
- Troll at 2-3 knots and check the paddletail action boat-side
- Replace the shad body when it tears or loses its tail action

What rigs do these shad bodies fit? +
Designed for BWC mojo rigs, parachute jigs, and umbrella rigs. They slide onto any hook shank and stay in place at trolling speed. See our BWC Loaded 24oz Mojo.
Single or 12-pack? +
Singles are great for trying colors or replacing one bait on the water. 12-packs save money when you know your color. A 12-pack lasts most of the season for a regular striper troller. See our striped bass guide.
How long do they last? +
The durable rubber handles multiple fish catches before tearing. On average, you can expect several trips from a single shad body before replacement. See our trolling guide.
Chartreuse, white, or black? +
White in clear water and bright sun. Chartreuse in stained water or overcast. Black at dawn, dusk, and in murky conditions. Carry all three and rotate until you find what is producing. See our trolling speed chart.
Do you carry the matching mojo heads? +
Yes. The BWC Loaded 24oz Mojo and Tandem Striper Rigs are designed to pair with these shad bodies. See our BWC Tandem Striper Rigs.
Can I use these on umbrella rigs? +
Yes. The 9-inch size works well on umbrella rig arms for a school-of-baitfish presentation. Use the same color on all arms for consistency. See our rigs collection.
