About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to produce a lively darting action that mimics a fleeing baitfish. Its unique keel and forked tail create an erratic, jumping motion that triggers reaction strikes from bass.
Key features
- Low-resistance body allows easy dart action and wide glide.
- Keel on each side directs water flow downward, causing upward dart.
- Forked tail flutters realistically like a baitfish fin.
- Available in salt-infused material for improved casting and sink rate.
- Recommended with 3/0-2/0 offset hooks.
Best for
- Open water and shallow flats where bass target fleeing baitfish.
- No-sinker, split-shot, or Carolina rig presentations.
- Triggering reaction strikes from lethargic or pressured bass.
