The Rapala Jointed Shad Rap crankbait is my go to lure when it comes down yo fishing. When the fish are not biting I tie this baby on and she always seems to bull through. This bait is amazing at enticing the bass to bite.

The jointed shad rap has caught me largemouth when others failed. It floats, dives quickly, and suspends. When you learn a proper technique for retrieval, you will surely catch fish. I recommend the perch color.

This is a great lure! I have caught 5 walleyes with the silver and Halloween colors. I just ordered 3 more types and will use. It is easy to use the jerk bait on top of the surface and works very well just before dusk and after. Probably just as well in the morning hours too!

Hey these are good lures! How I know? First time I used it I hooked an absolute monster bass in a heavily fished area of a heavily fished lake, a rare occurrence. Kind of a nice thumping action on retrieve, good moves as a jerkbait, excellent finish, not surprised at all it attracts the monsters. Only negative is easy to snag getting it down into below surface brush.

I have run a shad style from a competitor for years. When these came out, I gave them a try, and they flat- out caught fish. They come out of the box tuned and run straight. They come in a good selection of colors, and the paint holds up after catching many fish. But what's best about these lures is no more bent or broken hooks. The strength and sharpness of the hooks are impressive. I one hundred percent recommend these!

There's no better trailers for throwing on a bucktail than zmans. These are my go to trailer for striper fishing and they 're amazing! They 're so durable, they 've outlasted my bucktail many times and have caught hundreds of fish on one pack.

5 Joey89
I bought this almost at the end of the season. I put an 1 1/2 oz jig head on it and sent it down to the bottom. I got a 32 inch striper on the drop. not bad for the first time using these. I will certainly buy more

When it comes to fishing for bluefish in northern New Jersey, it ’s hard to find plastics that can last more than one bite from a yellow eyed devil dog. But man I am super happy zman came out with these jerk shads. Not only do they last more than one bite they will catch multiple fish with getting bitten in half. And the action is perfect. Fish can ’ t resist that twitching action.

What a great plastic lure. Very versatile and can be used for targeting multiple fish species

Really wanted to get into fishing swim baits and stumbled upon this bait and loved it. First “ big ” swim bait I ’ ve ever purchased IMO definitely worth the money. Overall bait had great action either swimming it or pausing or twitching the bait and slow sink, hooked up on a 5lb bass within an hour.

Works great. Caught a toad of a bass this past Labor Day weekend with it after only throwing it for a few minutes.

I own a number of strike king lipless crank baits. And have had moderate success with them. This was my first purchase of one with the tungsten 2- tap. On my first boating trip of the year. The bite was slow on the Reservoir. The strike king 2- tap in the chili craw pattern got my only bite of the day. A Maryland PB smallmouth. Though it was only 1 fish. I feel confident that there will be more to follow this spring.

Best chatterbait trailer I have found thus far. Good action, easy to rig, like the tail flange produces a quick narrow tail kick that matches the speed of a Jackhammer Chatterbait blade well. Good option, outside of a chatterbait trailer, not impressed... Chatterbait trailer 10/10

5 LukStagAut
I love this bait like most of Yamamoto's soft plastics as it is real fish catcher! I use it mostly as a trailer on my bladed jigs, buzz baits, and occasionally spinner baits in order to add a strong yet somewhat compact baitfish profile. The tail on this bait works at just about any speed and the available colors all exhibit fish appeal. Amazingly though, the soft plastic on this bait holds up much better than the majority of Yamamoto's soft plastic offerings, as once properly glued, I have able to catch many fish, even the toothy varieties, without having to replace it; making them worth the price.

5 RianG
Attached to spinnerbaits, jigs, even drop shots. This is a great product. Little enough to attach but big enough to run straight up. First time I have used this product and caught a good size bass running this on a 1/2 '' Chartreuse willow blade spinnerbait. Will buy again

This swimbait has very good action. I also use the another FAT swimbait and the 6th sense swimbait has great action, as well. It is a little more stiff( but not too much) so it has faster tail swing action than the keitech. Definitely will be more in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions For Bass Shad

Bass shad lures are typically made from a variety of materials, including soft plastics, rubber, and sometimes hard plastics. Soft plastic lures often feature a more lifelike feel and movement in the water, while hard plastic options can provide durability and a distinct action. The choice of material can affect the lure's performance, including its buoyancy and ability to withstand repeated strikes.

Bass shad lures can be used effectively with various fishing techniques, including casting, trolling, and jigging. Anglers often employ techniques such as steady retrieval or twitching to mimic the erratic movement of a distressed baitfish. The versatility of these lures allows them to be adapted to different fishing conditions and environments.

Bass shad lures tend to be most effective during the warmer months when bass are actively feeding and shad are plentiful in the water. Spring and early summer are particularly good times as fish are often in shallow waters chasing after baitfish. However, they can also be effective in fall when bass are fattening up for winter.

Choosing the right size of bass shad lure depends on the size of the fish you are targeting and the local forage. Generally, matching the size of the lure to the size of the shad present in the water can increase your chances of success. It's also important to consider the fishing conditions, such as water clarity and depth, when selecting the size.

Soft bass shad lures offer a more lifelike feel and flexibility, which can enhance their action in the water and make them more appealing to fish. They are often more versatile in terms of rigging options. On the other hand, hard bass shad lures are typically more durable and can produce a different action that may be more effective in certain conditions, such as deeper waters or faster currents.
