Description

The Red Eyed Shad is one of Strike King’s most trusted and versatile fish-catching crankbaits. The ALL NEW Saltwater Red Eyed Shad is equipped with high-strength Saltwater-Grade Mustad Triple Grip hooks and corrosion-resistant swivels and terminal components. The lipless diving Red Eyed Shad features free-floating beads that emit a loud rattle as it is retrieved for an unmatched and unmistakable sound. Strike King’s legendary Red Eyed Shad can be burned at a high retrieval speed for covering water quickly, “yo-yoed” for suspended fish feeding on bait pods, or softly bounced across gravel bottoms of the flats. Anglers trust it around heavy cover such as mangrove banks and ditches, and it is ideal as a search bait or for targeting schooling fish
