The Deps Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait features a unique body shape and hydrodynamic profile with low water resistance. This makes it easy to create a side-to-side movement even with the slightest twitch from the rod tip, triggering aggressive reaction strikes from predatory fish.

The fins act as stabilizers during the stop-and-go retrieve, causing the bait to fall completely horizontally, instead of head-first like other soft jerkbaits.

The Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait is molded with a deep groove along its belly for better hookset, as well as a groove along its back to conceal the hook point. This makes it an excellent weedless bait, reducing the risk of snagging on bottom in dense vegetation. The bait is very effective when fished weightless and jerked in, both slowly and quickly.
