About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft stick bait designed to produce a darting action that mimics a baitfish splashing and jumping on the surface. Its unique keel and body shape allow for easy triggering of reaction bites from bass in open water or around cover.
Key features
- Keel on both sides directs water flow downward, creating an upward darting action.
- Smooth body line reduces drag for wide, high-speed darts.
- Forked tail flutters naturally to imitate a baitfish's caudal fin.
- High tear-resistance material with salt content (5%) improves hook hold and durability.
- Hook-set assist markings help align hooks straight for consistent action.
Best for
- Finesse and reaction-style bass fishing in open water or reservoirs.
- No-sinker, split shot, and Carolina rig presentations.
- Targeting bass that are keying on fleeing baitfish near the surface or bottom.
