Description

The Yamamoto D-Shad is a new breed of soft plastic jerk bait. Although similar in profile to other soft-body jerkbaits, the Yamamoto D-Shad provides added advantage of molded-in-weight.Consider those situations when you’re trying to work a fluke-style bait fast below the surface, the usual problem is keeping the lure underwater where it can do the most good. With Yamamoto’s unique formula, the D-Shad has the density to stay down even when worked aggressively. That’s huge, especially on lakes and rivers where bass respond best to erratic, high-speed retrieves.When paused, the D-Shad also sinks much like a Senko - with a very desirable wobbling action - perfect for fishing it on the fall. Its thicker, heavier tail allows it to sink level and gives it a little shimmy. Available in a range of colors, rig the Yamamoto D-Shad like you would any other soft-plastic jerkbait - just with a lot less lead.LengthQuantity5"7

Field Notes

This is a soft plastic jerkbait/fluke-style bait for bass, especially when fish are feeding on baitfish and want an erratic retrieve. Work it fast just under the surface or over shallow cover, then pause it so it can fall with a wobbling shimmy.

Pros

  • Molded-in weight helps it stay below the surface
  • Good wobbling fall on the pause
  • Works well with fast, erratic retrieves

Cons

  • Not a true hard jerkbait
  • May need careful rigging to maximize action
