The BDS-3 is the most popular size in the Fat CB BDS series. It's the model you want. The Fat CB BDS-3 is a relatively chunky, shallow-running, brawny bait with a wide wobble and rolling action. It is the one that has the perfect size and heft for brawling with bass in thick cover using relatively heavier line and cranking gear. It is buoyant and designed to perform somewhat like a balsa wood lure, except it is durable hard plastic construction that holds up to repeated, rugged use.

Its lip design, hook positions and outstanding obstacle deflection qualities let the BDS-3 waltz right through the thickest of cover. It's ideal for fishing through laydowns, stump fields, docks, rocky shallow areas, tough weeds and other shallow thick cover. The internal weighting in this lure is fixed-weight for quick deflection recovery. After the bait hits an object, it comes right back to proper position to continue the retrieve.

Color Considerations

The most popular colors across most every Lucky Craft product model are:

1. Chartreuse Shad. One of if not 'the' most popular Lucky Craft color. If you had to limit yourself to just one Lucky Craft color, Chartreuse Shad is the one.

2. Ghost Minnow. The most popular clear water color in the Lucky Craft line-up.

3. MS American Shad. One of the most beautiful of all Lucky Craft (or any other vendor's) colors. It is truly a special experience to fish with it. It is a high flash color for when fish want a lot of flash in a lure.

4. Aurora Black. Flashy yes, but much more subdued, and very popuular. In a separate class from, and not nearly as flashy as MS American Shad.

MS Herring is another of the most beautiful and fairly popular of all Lucky Craft colors. It is similar to MS American Shad in that they are both high flash colors. However, it is not available in every product model. MS Herring is not available in Bevy Shad 75, Moonsault CB-200, Moonsault CB-350, to name a few.
