Round Scad / Cigar Minnow

AKA: Hardtail / Cigarfish / Chuparaco Family: Baitfish

The Round Scad makes for a good bait fish when targeting XXXXXXXXXXX.

The Round Scad is characterized by a green to tan topside fading at a breaking lateral line with spots to a lighter underside. His dorasl fin is a bit rounded and overall he is shaped like his name implies, like a cigar.

These fish are found from nearshore waters all the way to the open sea.
