About this piece
The Issei Kaitaro Caramel Shad 4 inch is a soft-plastic paddle-tail swimbait designed for saltwater game, featuring a robust body and a unique tail that churns water effectively even during high-pitch retrieves. Created by Issei in collaboration with angler Murakami Haruhiko, this bait offers excellent hook hold and stays secure on the hook during casting and action, allowing for efficient, tempo-driven fishing.
Key features
- High-pitch action tail creates strong water displacement

Best for
