Description

The bait fish is the number one forage food of larger predatory fish. It’s just Mother Nature’s way of providing nourishment to the food chain. Larger fish eat smaller fish plain and simple. No lure replicates a bait fish better than swim bait. Their profile size and swimming action triggers evolutionary feeding responses. Think about it. Looks like a bait fish, swims like a bait fish, tastes like a bait fish it must be a bait fish! The best all around size for swim bait is 4 inches long. The New Fat Shad by MegaStrike is 4 inches long but has a larger fatter profile to displace more water and cause more vibration to be detected by the predatory fish’s lateral line. In short it makes it easier for the predatory fish to find. The new Mega Shad is designed to be fished with a belly weighted hook or is even more perfectly suited to be fished with the new Pro Model Shak-E2 Head. It can be hopped along the bottom or slowly retrieved at any depth. Fat Shads come in 10 great fish catching colors. Fish with them and you will be glad you did.

Field Notes

Best for imitating baitfish when bass are feeding on shad or other small forage. It can be rigged on a belly-weighted hook or jig head and worked with a slow retrieve, or hopped along the bottom when fish are holding deeper.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile
  • Larger, fatter body displaces more water
  • Versatile rigging and retrieve options

Cons

  • Requires separate hook or jig head
  • Not ideal when fish are keyed on very small prey
