Overview
Built for anglers using forward-facing sonar, this pre-rigged bait is designed to help present a shad profile with a controlled, balanced fall and subtle tail action. The 10X Tough ElaZtech body adds durability while the forked tail and air cavity are intended to create lifelike movement and improved sonar visibility. Its line-through jig head and recessed line tie support a consistent pendulum-style presentation through the water column. Offered in 3/16 oz., 1/4 oz., and 3/8 oz. sizes, it comes as one fully rigged jig head with one spare body per pack.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Pre-rigged format limits customization compared with building a jig-and-body setup from scratch.
- The lure is offered only in 3/16 oz., 1/4 oz., and 3/8 oz. sizes, so weight options are limited to those three choices.
- Its design is centered on forward-facing sonar use and baitfish-style presentation, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose soft bait.
- Each pack includes one fully-rigged jig head and one spare body, so replacement parts are limited to what is provided.
