The Deps Sakamata Shad is a unique twist on the classic soft jerkbait design with dual-keeled sides and a hydrodynamic profile that gives it a natural baitfish action that darts and jumps to trigger the predatory instincts in bass. Whether fished weightless near the surface to imitate a fleeing baitfish or on a weighted rig closer to the bottom, such as a jighead or Carolina Rig, the Sakamata Shad has the profile and action to fool even the finickiest fish. Thanks to its winged flanks, the Sakamata Shad has downward water resistance, helping it stay in the strike zone longer and resist popping upwards when twitched back to the boat. Featuring a deep groove along the belly, the Sakamata Shad penetrates and hooks up easily when fished with a weightless EWG hook. Easy to use and powerful in action and fish-catching power, the Deps Sakamata Shad is here to stay in the American bass market.
