Meticulously designed over the last two years between Baitsanity and Tackle Warehouse, the Tackle Warehouse x Baitsanity Antidote Chimera Shad derives its namesake from a mythological Greek creature with a lion’s head, goat’s body, and serpent’s tail. Much like this beast, the Tackle Warehouse x Baitsanity Antidote Chimera Shad blends key features from the forage that bass crave the most. An amalgamation of baitfish, shad, shiners, and panfish, the Tackle Warehouse x Baitsanity Antidote Chimera Shad exhibits universal appeal that can be applied to any body of water with bass. And because it was designed with an emphasis on versatility, the Tackle Warehouse Chimera Shad was carefully engineered to excel with several retrieve types, especially a quick chop or a wide glide. Built to effortlessly walk in place with quick chops of the reel handle or twitches of the rod tip, the Chimera Shad calls to bass looking for an easy, injured meal. Besides the chopping retrieve, the Chimera also temps bass with a more traditional, meandering wide glide. Pair the two together throughout your retrieve and it becomes irresistible to bass. Whether you’re covering water across a shallow flat, working long tapering points, or target pitching to isolated cover, the Chimera Shad checks all the boxes. The secret sauce behind Chimera’s amazing suspending action is Baitsanity’s innovative STS (Submerge-to-Sink) tuning. This one-of-a-kind design allows water to enter through the hook hangers, internally weighting the bait and helping it sink to the point where it becomes neutrally buoyant. Included with .72-gram Baitsanity Tungsten Adhesive Weights, the Chimera can be strategically weighted along the belly and chin if a deeper depth is preferred. In addition to its ambiguous appeal, and versatile action, each Chimera Shad is hand-painted, hand-tested, and tuned prior to hitting the shelves. For an added dose of realism, the bait comes with an oversized brush tail, and ominous eyes that serve as a bullseye for hungry bass. Once big fish decide to strike, the Chimera Shad features swiveling hook hangers and razor-sharp #2 Gamakatsu round bend treble hooks that keep them pinned until they hit the deck. To keep your bait protected on-and-off the water, the bait is packaged with an exclusive TW x Baitsantiy Lure Wrap made from durable, high-quality TPU plastic. As bass anglers, swimbait anglers in particular, we are always trying to find the next best lure that has the potential to land the fish of a lifetime. Baitsanity and Tackle Warehouse present the Chimera Shad, to give you the tool and confidence to obtain the fish of a lifetime on any cast.
