About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a stick bait that creates an erratic darting action by simply rigging it on a hook. The keel on both sides of the body triggers an instinctive feeding response from bass, simulating a baitfish fleeing on the surface.
Key features
- Body keels produce a lively darting action on the drop and during retrieval
- Available in Normal (9.8g, 10% salt) and Heavy Weight (11.3g, 75% salt) versions
- Works well with no-sinker, split-shot, and Carolina rig presentations
- Designed for #3/0 offset hooks for optimal hook-up ratio
- Natural action mimics ayu or hasu baitfish escaping to the surface
Best for
- Largemouth bass fishing in clear to stained water
- Shallow to mid-depth presentations with a slow or erratic retrieve
- Finesse and power-fishing scenarios from docks to open water
- Triggering reaction strikes from pressured or lethargic bass
