The Northeast Jig Co. Ripper Shad embodies the peak of artificial lure craftsmanship, meticulously hand-poured in Philadelphia, PA. This commitment to quality ensures that each swimbait delivers consistent performance that angling aficionados can rely on. Known for its versatility and effectiveness, the Ripper Shad can be used in diverse environments, from tranquil ponds to roaring coastal waters, standing out as an exceptional choice for fishermen targeting a variety of species.
Among swimbaits, the Ripper Shad stands out with its robust design tailored for larger predator fish. Its unique oversized T-profile paddle tail is engineered to generate a distinctive tail wag and head wobble, closely mimicking the movements of live prey. This lively action is key in provoking strikes from wary game fish.
The Ripper Shad's body features deep ribs that amplify its swimming action while also augmenting vibrations and water displacement. These characteristics are crucial in murky waters where visibility is limited, ensuring that predatory species can easily sense the bait through their lateral line.
Anglers targeting striped bass often find that the Ripper Shad becomes their go-to lure. Its effectiveness is equally recognized by southern anglers seeking to hook into larger snook, redfish, and tarpon. The success of the Ripper Shad across various predatory species is a testament to its design and function.
The inclusion of Northeast Jig Co.'s exclusive Rad Shad Sauce infuses the lure with an additional sensory trigger that can tip a cautious fish into a committed striker. This scent and taste enhancer ensures that once a fish bites, it's more likely to hold on, giving the angler a better hook set opportunity.
Available in multiple sizes and colors, the Ripper Shad offers anglers the flexibility to adapt their presentations to local conditions, prey profiles, and personal preferences. The Night Shift color variant is especially effective in low-light conditions or when targeting fish that prefer darker-toned prey.
