Description

Designed to be heavier and thrown in big winds this shad frame mimics many young of year fish that are in their first year. The bait comes with two Decoy quad XS-21's to gain maximum hook points per square inch. The countdown version of this bait can be fished in the depths that traditional crankbaits cannot reach. Depending on line size and make up the countdown can effectively get down to 20-40'. If you keep the tip up after casting the bait will effectively wake on the surface with the option of sinking out as you near structure or weed edges. Often the fish leave the bite open for interpretation, can you evolve with the bite?

Field Notes

Designed to be thrown in big wind and to imitate young-of-year baitfish. It can be counted down to reach deep water or waked near the surface, then allowed to sink out around structure and weed edges. Best when you need a versatile baitfish presentation that can cover both open water and edge-oriented fish.

Pros

  • Heavy enough for windy conditions
  • Versatile depth control from surface wake to deep countdown

Cons
