About this piece
The Deps Frilled Shad is a realistic soft-body swimbait that mimics slender baitfish such as smelt and gudgeon. Its distinctive fan-shaped lip atop the head channels water flow to produce a quivering, rolling action with strong flash effect, effortlessly recreating a mid-stroll presentation on a simple retrieve.
Key features
- Fan-shaped frontal lip generates spontaneous roll and quiver actions without angler input
- Ultra-realistic body molding with separate eyes triggers strikes in pressured or clear water
- 0% salt clear material catches light and air in deep grooves for lifelike scale reflection
- Low-density soft material holds well on jigheads and works as a weedguard by covering the hook point
- Slows down hovering presentations, making it effective for pinpoint casting around structure
Best for
- Clear or high-pressure waters where subtle, natural baitfish action is required
- Light mid-stroll or slow-rolled jighead retrieves
- Targeting black bass holding on rock beds, pilings, and cover
