About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a stick bait designed to produce an explosive darting action on the surface and sub-surface, imitating a fleeing baitfish. Its unique keel system and streamlined body make it easy to trigger reaction strikes from bass in open water or around cover.
Key features
- Keel on both sides creates upward darting action on the retrieve.
- Smooth, seamless body reduces water resistance for wide glide and high-speed darts.
- 5% salt content (3.7 g in 4 inch) increases tensile strength and hook penetration.
- Hook-set assist marking on the body ensures straight hook placement.
- Split tail moves naturally like a baitfish tail fin.
Best for
- Bass fishing in open water, lakes, and ponds.
- Reaction strikes from active bass.
- No-sinker, split-shot, and Carolina rig presentations.
