Overview

Built for anglers targeting walleye in pressured water, this suspending shad-style lure is designed to present a tight, controlled wiggle that can draw attention without an overly wide action. Its anatomically accurate body and flat-sided profile are intended to imitate shad forage, while the bill helps keep the lure running at the intended depth whether you are casting or trolling. The suspending action keeps it in the strike zone during pauses and slower retrieves, which is useful when fish are reluctant to commit. This 2 11/16-inch Chrome Black Back version is one of four available sizes, giving anglers options to match local forage and conditions.

Pros

  • Anatomically accurate shad body for lifelike presentation
  • Flat-sided design creates a tight wiggle
  • Suspends to stay in the strike zone during pauses
  • Works for both casting and trolling
  • Available in four sizes to match forage and conditions
  • Through-body casting system helps reach hard-to-access spots

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Suspending action is most relevant when pauses are part of the retrieve; it may be less of a factor for anglers who keep the lure moving continuously.
  • The 2 11/16" size is one option in a four-size lineup, so matching local forage may require choosing a different size.
  • Designed for casting and trolling, but the depth-running bill means presentation is more controlled than a simple cast-and-retrieve lure.
  • Pack quantity is 1, so anglers wanting multiple backups or color options will need to buy additional units.
