About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a stick bait designed to create a natural darting action that triggers bass predatory instincts. Its unique keel system on both sides of the body produces a jumping dart action, mimicking baitfish fleeing to the surface. The streamlined body reduces water resistance for easy darting and wide inertial slides, while the high salt content material enhances hook penetration and reduces tearing.
