Overview
Built for anglers who want a soft bait with a steady, rolling swim, this minnow-style lure is designed to move with a fleeing action even on a straight retrieve. The hinged tail section and shoulder flanges work together to slow the bait and keep its motion controlled, while the laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are intended to create a consistent rate of roll. In Rainbow Shad, it suits situations where a subtle but active presentation is needed. Packaged in a 6-count, it offers a practical option for fishing with a premium soft bait profile.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The hinged tail design is built to roll on a straight retrieve, so it may not suit anglers looking for a more subtle or rigid minnow profile.
- The shoulder flanges are intended to slow the bait down, which can be a trade-off if you prefer a faster-moving presentation.
- The laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are designed around a specific roll rate, so the action is more specialized than a simple soft bait.
- Pack size is 6, so it’s a limited quantity purchase compared with bulk soft-bait options.
