About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to produce a lively darting action that mimics a fleeing baitfish. Its unique keel system creates an upward jumping motion on the retrieve, triggering reaction strikes from bass. The flowing body line reduces water resistance for easy action and wide glide, while the forked tail flutters realistically.
