About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a stick bait designed to mimic fleeing baitfish with an easy-to-produce darting action. Its built-in keels on both sides of the body let anglers trigger natural, popping rise actions without complex manipulation. Suitable for no-sinker, split-shot, and Carolina rigs, it delivers a sudden, escaping baitfish profile that draws reaction strikes.
