About this piece
Issei Umitaro Caramel Shad 4inch #058 Solid Red is a soft plastic paddle-tail swimbait designed to attract flathead and flounder. These color patterns were developed through research with anglers and charter boat captains in areas where these species are commonly caught, and refined by Haruhiko Murakami. The bait offers four versatile colors — two high-visibility and two natural — to match varying light, water clarity, and turbidity conditions.
