DESCRIPTION

Expertly crafted in Japan, the Deps Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait is a precision-designed soft plastic bait that delivers a dynamic, erratic swimming action that draws in big bass. Its distinct body shape and streamlined profile reduce drag in the water, allowing it to dart side-to-side with easeeven with the slightest rod movementmaking it ideal for triggering reaction bites.

Strategically placed keel fins at the head redirect water downward, causing the bait to rise upward, simulating a shad leaping to escape a predator. When paused, those same fins act as stabilizers, letting the bait fall horizontally rather than nose-diving like most soft jerkbaits.

The body features a deep belly groove for better hook penetration and a back slot for tex-posed hooks, allowing for weedless rigging with your favorite EWG-style hook. It’s incredibly effective when fished weightless, whether you’re working it with slow, subtle twitches or quick, aggressive pops.

Popular among Japanese anglers, it can also be fished on a split shot rig or Carolina rig to reach deeper fish. Available in a range of colors and sizes, the Deps Sakamata Shad offers a fresh twist on the traditional soft jerkbait, giving pressured fish something newand helping you land more of them.
