About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad 8 is a soft stick bait designed to create a lively darting action that mimics baitfish escaping on the surface. It features a unique keel system on both sides of the body that causes the lure to jump and dart erratically with minimal input, triggering predatory strikes from bass.
Key features
- Unique keel design generates a popping dart action without added hardware
- Streamlined body reduces water resistance for wide glide and high-speed darting
- 10% salt content increases tensile strength for better hook hold and durability
- Forked tail vibrates naturally to imitate a baitfish's tail fin
- Hook-set assist marking ensures straight, centered hook placement
Best for
- Open water or weed edges where bass target fleeing baitfish
- Texas rig, split-shot, or Carolina rig presentations
- Targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass in clear to stained water
