About this piece
The Reins Ajimata Shad 2.5" is a soft-plastic shad bait developed in collaboration with Deps, designed for light saltwater game fishing. Its 62mm length expands the range of target species compared to the original 2-inch version, making it effective for horse mackerel (aji), rockfish (mebaru), and offshore species like yellowtail, sea bream, and grunt.
