Description

This is a new in the box Black Label Balsa – Shiver 5 Shallow – Custom Balsa Crankbait in the Threadfin Shad Pearl color. Weight 1/4 oz Length 2 1/8 “ Depth 3 to 4 ‘ The Black Label Balsa – Shiver 5 Shallow- Custom Balsa Crankbait was designed to offer another option in the tight action Black Label bait family but in a shallower version. The Black Label Shiver 5 Shallow is designed with a tapered body that helps the bait be more aerodynamic causing a better overall casting bait. The Black Label Balsa Shiver 5 Shallow has a fast, tight action and is going to be a great choice for colder water, as well as, high pressured fishing situations in clearer water. The Shiver 5 Shallow is built with a custom cut lexan thumbnail shaped bill which will aid in the durability of the lip when fishing it on hard bottoms like rock or gravel. This bait excels anytime you want a tight action design but do not need to extra depth of most flat baits. From fishing drains and channel swing banks in the pre-spawn, to outside grass lines in the fall, the Shiver 5 Shallow will absolutely catch ’em. The Shiver 5 Shallow is equipped with two black nickel Mustad TG76 trebles and built with the same 45 step process as all Black Label products. All Black Label Balsa baits are made by hand out of premium balsa wood by Bassmaster Classic Champion Cliff Pace. Since this bait is custom built and painted by hand, there could be color variations from the bait pictured and the bait you receive. Add to Wishlist Add to Wishlist

Field Notes

Use this shallow balsa crankbait when you want a tight, fast wobble in clear or heavily pressured water. It is a good choice for colder water and for covering shallow structure like drains, channel swings, rock, gravel, and outside grass lines. The 3-4 ft running depth makes it useful for shallow casting presentations rather than deep cranking.

Pros

  • Tight, fast action for pressured fish
  • Shallow-running 3-4 ft profile
  • Balsa body casts well for its size
  • Good around rock and gravel with durable lexan bill

Cons

  • Limited to shallow water
  • Balsa construction is less forgiving than hard plastic if abused
  • Best suited to a specific tight-wobble presentation
