About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to create a natural darting action that triggers predatory strikes from bass. Its unique keel system on both sides of the body generates a popping, jumping motion on the surface or bottom, mimicking fleeing baitfish. The 8-inch version features a high salt content for improved hook penetration and durability.
