About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to produce a unique darting action that mimics a baitfish fleeing and bursting from the surface. Its body is crafted with a streamlined profile for low water resistance, enabling wide sliding darts and high-speed action to trigger reaction strikes from bass.
Key features
- Two side keels create an upward-jumping dart action with every hookset.
- Smooth, contourless body reduces drag for wide inertia slides and high-speed retrieves.
- Split tail flutters like a real baitfish fin, following the dart motion.
- Hook-set assist marking ensures straight hook placement for better holding.
- Non-salt material for sizes 2.5 inch and smaller improves tear resistance.
Best for
- Open-water bass fishing requiring erratic, reaction-triggering presentations.
- No-sinker, split-shot, or Carolina rig techniques over a range of depths.
