About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad 2.5 inch is a soft stick bait designed to produce a lively darting action that mimics baitfish fleeing on the surface or rising abruptly from the bottom. Its body features side keels that naturally generate a jumping, erratic dart when simply rigged with a hook, triggering predatory strikes from bass with ease.
Key features
- Body-length keels on both sides create a rising, jump-like dart action on the retrieve
- Smooth, low-drag body shape allows wide sliding and high-speed darting in open water
- Non-salt material (0%) for the 2.5-inch size provides high tensile strength and tear resistance
- Marked hook-set assist line for straight, reliable hook placement
- Split tail fin trembles realistically like a baitfish tail during action
Best for
- Finesse darting presentations for bass in open water or around cover
- Using weedless, split-shot, or Carolina rigs to target reaction strikes
- Anglers seeking an easy-to-use stick bait that brings out the bass's predatory instinct
