Description

* LIMIT 2 PER CUSTOMER/HOUSEHOLD. Orders that exceed limit may be cancelled and refunded. We appreciate your cooperation. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Battles Shad was designed, tested and hand crafted by Mike Gilbert in 2016 as a new tool for angler's to target Trophy Bass around heavy cover or structure. The Battles Shad is a tall, hollow, full body "snag-less" swimbait featuring the first of it's kind, Headcase Harness. Nose blow outs from Beast Hooks are a thing of the past! In addition to the Headcase Harness, the Battles Shad features the original Stealth Mode Hook Slot, Chaos Chamber and Twist Tail for bigger bites and superior hook penetration. The Battles Shad is a Premium soft bait that is intended for use by angler's that have an advanced knowledge of rigging soft plastic Swimbaits with Beast Hook style hooks. We do not recommend the Battles Shad to be an angler's first swimbait. The Battles Shad is a soft bait, so toothy critters (especially Turtles) will bite off the tails. We stand behind our products so please reach out to us if you have any issue outside of wear and tear with our baits that may be considered as a manufacturer defect. Each bait is hand poured and painted so there will be slight variations in paint from bait to bait along with cosmetic variations in the plastic from bait to bait. The Battles Shad comes in a reusable package that allows anglers to store rigged Battles Shads worry free. REDACTED Version 2 Color Profile: Back: Vibrant Pearl Blue with a prominent Violet sheen resting on top of black, gold and silver glitter Side: Light Silver Pearl with Black, Gold and Silver Glitter with a Violet sheen. Belly: Soft Pearl White. Length: 7.35" Weight: 2.5oz (unrigged) Recommended Hook (Not included ) : 10/0 1/2oz Owner Beast Hook

Field Notes

Use around heavy cover and structure where trophy bass are likely to hold, rigging it with Beast Hook-style harness/heads as the manufacturer intends. Cast and work it so the tall, hollow body and twist tail stay active while keeping the bait snag-resistant.

Pros

  • Snag-less tall, hollow full-body design for heavy cover/structure
  • Headcase Harness helps prevent nose blowouts
  • Chaos Chamber and Twist Tail support bigger bites and improved hook penetration
  • Hand poured/painted with realistic variation

Cons

  • Not recommended as a first swimbait due to advanced rigging requirements
  • Toothy critters (especially turtles) may bite off the tails
  • Slight paint/plastic cosmetic variations are expected
