Description

Stare into the big realistic soft eyes of the Craft Shad and you could be mistaken for thinking it was a real bleak. The lure was inspired by that fish and features intricate details and a long slender tail bridge with a T-tail that paddles in a vigorous tight kick and roll on the retrieve and the drop. The lure’s slim body makes it perfect for working at depth or in a current. The toolmaking, handcrafted details and painting used on the Craft Shad set new standards for soft lures.

Field Notes

This soft swimbait is built to imitate a small baitfish with a tight kick and roll, making it a good choice when fish are feeding on shad or bleak. It is especially suited for working deeper water or fishing in current, where the slim body and paddletail can stay active on both the retrieve and the fall.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile and detailed finish
  • Tight kicking tail action on retrieve and drop
  • Works well at depth and in current

Cons

  • Soft body can be torn by repeated strikes
  • Not ideal when a more subtle or finesse presentation is needed
