About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad 8 inch is a stick bait designed to naturally produce a darting, jumping action that mimics baitfish, easily triggering a bass's predatory instinct. Its unique keel on both sides of the body channels water flow to create a rising dart action, while the forked tail realistically shimmers like a baitfish fin, tracking every movement of the lure.
