The SteelShad Blade Baits are great for fishing during the late fall and winter. They are designed to be used in deeper water where bass tend to stay in colder temperatures. These blade baits do an excellent job of imitating the natural behavior of dying shad in deep water when the temperature drops. The SteelShad perfectly mimics this behavior by quickly sinking to the desired depth and fluttering down like a dying baitfish.
You can fish these blade baits like a crankbait by casting them out and reeling them in. However, they work best when used with a “yo-yo” retrieve. This involves aggressively pulling the bait through the water with a hard lift of the rod tip, and then letting it fall on slack line. This retrieve imitates a dying shad trying to escape from predators. It creates an aggressive, tight wobble as the bait darts upwards, followed by a slow, defenseless flutter towards the bottom.
The SteelShad is made of durable stainless steel and has a molded lead weight. It is also equipped with two VMC Permasteel hooks.
