Deps Sakamata Shad

Designed and built in Japan, this highly refined soft jerkbait delivers an erratic baitfish action that triggers aggressive reaction strikes from bass and other predatory fish. Its unique body shape and hydrodynamic profile create low water resistance, allowing the bait to dart, roll, and jump with even the slightest rod-tip twitch.

Keeled fins along both sides of the body channel water downward and force the bait upward, imitating a shad fleeing near the surface. The fins also act as stabilizers during pauses, helping the bait fall perfectly horizontal rather than headfirst. This natural presentation appeals to predatory instincts in a wide range of fishing conditions.

Fish it weightless on an EWG-style hook to imitate baitfish escaping near the surface, or rig it on a split-shot or Carolina rig to make it dart along the bottom like a fish seeking cover. A deep belly groove improves hook penetration, while hook slots along the back allow for tex-pose rigging and a clean, weedless presentation.

Available in multiple sizes and pack quantities, this versatile soft plastic jerkbait offers a refined alternative to traditional soft jerkbaits and can be fished effectively at both slow and fast speeds.

Pack quantities vary by selected variant.
