Description

Savage Gear Craft Shad Dark Water Mix - Realistic Softbait for Perch and Zander The Savage Gear Craft Shad Dark Water Mix is a realistic softbait designed for predator anglers targeting perch and zander with a natural baitfish profile. Inspired by a bleak, this slim shad has a lifelike body shape, soft realistic eyes and carefully finished details that make it a strong choice for clear presentations, pressured fish and technical softbait fishing. Its long, slender tail bridge and T-tail paddle create a tight kicking action with subtle body roll on both the retrieve and the drop. The slim profile helps the Craft Shad track well at depth and in current, making it ideal for jigging, casting along structure or working slowly through deeper water where perch and zander are holding.

A slim shad-style softbait for predator fishing when fish are keyed on baitfish.

  • Tight kicking tail action with subtle body roll
  • Good for jigging, casting, and slow retrieves
  • Useful in current and deeper water

Cons

  • Softbait body requires separate hooks/jig heads
