About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to produce a unique darting action that mimics a baitfish fleeing on the surface. Its keel system and streamlined body create an easy-to-use lure that triggers reaction strikes from bass in open water or near the bottom.
Key features
- Keel on both sides generates a natural darting action with simple hook setting
- Streamlined body reduces water resistance for wide glide and high-speed darts
- Forked tail moves realistically like a baitfish fin
- Hook set assist marking ensures straight hook placement
- Salt content varies by size (10% for 5-inch) to improve casting and sink rate
Best for
- Bass fishing in open water or around structure
- Topwater or bottom presentations with no-sinker, split-shot, or Carolina rigs
- Triggering reaction bites from pressured or neutral bass
