About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad 6 inch is a soft-plastic stick bait designed to produce a distinctive darting action that mimics a baitfish bursting upward. Its unique keel on both sides naturally generates this action with minimal effort, triggering bass reaction strikes in open water or near structure.
Key features
- Dual side keels enable a natural upward darting action on the retrieve.
- Smooth, streamlined body reduces water resistance for wide glide darts.
- Split tail flutters realistically like a baitfish tail fin.
- High salt content (10%) strengthens the material for better hook hold and durability.
- Works well with no-sinker, split-shot, and Carolina rigs.
Best for
- Bass fishing in open water and shallow flats.
- Anglers targeting reaction strikes with fast or erratic retrieves.
- Finesse presentations over weed beds or hard bottom.
- Clear to moderately stained water conditions.
