About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to produce an erratic darting action that triggers predatory strikes from bass. Its unique keel on both sides of the body and forked tail create a natural, fleeing baitfish movement on the surface or when rigged on a split shot or Carolina rig.
Key features
- Body keel directs water flow downward, producing an upward darting action.
- Forked tail wavers realistically like a baitfish fin during darting moves.
- Non-salt material (0% salt) for this 2.5-inch size provides strong hook hold and reduces tearing.
- Hook-set assist marking on the body helps ensure straight, centered hook placement.
- Streamlined body with no bumps reduces water resistance for wide glide and high-speed darts.
- Available in a 12-pack in Silver Shad color (#127).
Best for
- Finesse bass fishing in clear or open water.
- Surface or shallow-water presentations mimicking fleeing baitfish.
- Reaction strike scenarios with sudden, erratic darting retrieves.
- Drop shot, split shot, and Carolina rig bottom presentations.
