Description

Built to mimic the mid-size profile of threadfin shad, small gizzard shad, or baby bluegill, the Damiki Fat Armor Shad features a deeper belly than the original Damiki Armor Shad to accurately mimic larger forage. Designed to dart and glide erratically through the water imitating a fleeing baitfish, the Damiki Fat Armor Shad is loaded with scent for added fish attraction and is poured with a ribbed body for a realistic feel that fish hold onto longer. Perfect for pairing with the Damiki Rig Jig Head, the Fat Armor Shad is a premiere soft plastic minnow bait for live sonar fishing, that’s also proven deadly for saltwater species and many different rigging techniques. Available in a variety of natural and TW-exclusive color patterns, the Damiki Fat Armor Shad brings a bigger profile to your forward-facing sonar presentations to help you bring big weight to the scales on tournament day.

Field Notes

Use this as a soft plastic minnow bait for forward-facing sonar and live sonar presentations, especially when fish are keyed on shad or small baitfish. The erratic dart-and-glide action makes it a good choice for finesse rigging and pairing with a jig head when fish are suspended or feeding on bait. It is also described as effective for saltwater species, so it can cross over to inshore applications.

Pros

  • Realistic mid-size baitfish profile
  • Erratic dart-and-glide action
  • Scented for added attraction
  • Works well with forward-facing sonar

Cons

  • Requires the right rigging to get the intended action
  • Best suited to baitfish-focused situations
