The Deps Sakamata Shad soft bait has a unique darting and jumping action. The keels on both sides of the body give it a natural baitfish action while appealing to the predatory instincts of bass. It can be fished weightless to imitate baitfish trying to escape near the surface and jumping out of the water. It can also be fished on the bottom with a split-shot or Carolina Rig and the bait will dart near the bottom like a fish looking to hide. The Sakamata Shad is highly versatile and delivers excellent performance, making it ideal for catching fish in various situations.
