Overview
Built for bass fishing in cover, this soft bait is sized and shaped to move through grassy flats, cedar, and other tight targets with less bulk than the Bellows Gill. Its deep body ribs and tapered tail are designed to create a natural swimming action and added water movement, while the S.A.F. formula is included for scent, taste, and bite retention. It suits sight-fishing, flipping, pitching, or use as a jig or chatterbait trailer when a compact profile is preferred. The Sunburned WM Gill color adds another option for anglers looking to match their presentation to local conditions.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The slimmer Shad profile is designed to move through brush more easily, but it is still a soft bait intended for cover-oriented presentations rather than open-water finesse work.
- At 2.8", this size is best suited to smaller-profile presentations; anglers wanting a larger baitfish look will need to step up to the 3.8" option.
- The deep ribs and tapered tail are built to create movement and water displacement, which may be more than some ultra-subtle presentations call for.
- The S.A.F. formula adds scent, taste, and bite retention, but it does not replace the need to match rigging and presentation to the conditions.
