About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft-plastic stick bait designed to create an explosive, jumping dart action that triggers predatory strikes from bass. Its streamlined, low-resistance body and split tail produce a realistic baitfish profile, while the integrated keel on both sides ensures stable, upward-darting movements. This 6-inch model contains 10% salt for improved hook penetration and material strength, reducing tear and wear.
