Overview
Built for anglers who want a soft bait with a steady rolling action, this 6-inch minnow is designed to move on a straight retrieve and keep a fleeing look in the water. The hinged tail section and shoulder flanges work together to slow the bait and maintain its roll, while the laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are intended to create a controlled rate of movement. In Electric Shad, it suits situations where a natural minnow profile and consistent motion are useful. Each pack includes five baits.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The hinged tail and rolling action are designed to move continuously, so it may not be the best fit if you want a more subtle or stationary presentation.
- The flanges and independent weighting are intended to create a specific rate of roll, which means the bait’s action is built around a particular retrieve style rather than a highly versatile one.
- At 6" and sold in a 5-pack, it is a more specialized soft bait than a general-purpose option, so anglers may want to reserve it for situations where that profile matches the target presentation.
