Deps Sakamata Shad 6 inch #140 Electric Shad

The Deps Sakamata Shad is a 6-inch stick bait with built-in keels that produce an erratic darting action, mimicking fleeing baitfish. Its design triggers aggressive bass strikes with minimal effort, whether fished weightless near the surface or dragged along the bottom. Lightly salted, it offers a natural feel and taste that encourage fish to hold on longer.
