About this piece
Daiwa Ricky Shad is a soft-plastic shad-tail worm designed specifically for worm jigging, offering a vibration-based approach that reaches fish beyond the range of metal jigs. Its duck-fin tail generates a balanced swimming action that appeals to pressured targets in shallow water, around structure, or during tough feeding conditions.
Key features
- Duck-fin tail provides stable, natural vibration at slow retrieval speeds
- Optimized for use with the specially designed Ricky Head jighead
- Ideal for scenarios where metal jigs are too fast or aggressive
- Versatile worm that works with lift-and-fall or steady retrieve
Best for
- Saltwater and inshore species such as yellowtail, sea bass, and rockfish
- Boat games like SLJ, boat sea bass, and boat flounder
- Shallow water and structure-oriented fishing where subtle presentations shine
