The HAZEDONG SHAD’s sensitive tail catches the water even during dead-slow retrieves and delicate shaking, triggering targets with its natural vibrations. Compared to the SPARK SHAD, the HAZEDONG SHAD exhibits minimal body movement and concentrates action in the tail for a high-pitch, finesse kicking action. Rig it on a dropshot and shake the line for trembling tail-kicks or employ one of Chris Zaldain’s favorite techniques and try drop-swimming the HAZEDONG SHAD through target-rich environments!
HAZEDONG SHAD’s finesse approach is perfect for highly-pressured waters and high-visibility conditions. Belly slit allows the body to compress when bitten, increasing hookup rates when using offset hooks. With layered material of different densities, the HAZEDONG SHAD is able to maintain excellent stability even when used with no sinker rigs. In addition, this layering process allows for incredibly natural two-tone color patterns.
JIG HEAD
Ideal for long mid-range retrieves, strolling, and retrieves punctuated by gentle shakes of the rod, the natural flashing and action created by the flat-side body will lure bass in.
DROPSHOT
Versatile performance to lure in bites from all targets. The tail creates delicate vibrations and appeals to predators.
NO SINKER
No sinker rigs highlight the Megabass HAZEDONG SHAD 3’s natural actions, and are great for clear water presentations, delivering bites in even the toughest conditions.

When most anglers grab a new bait off the shelf or from a tackle shop pegboard, they’re relying on a few surface-level cues to gauge its effectiveness. Paint jobs, profile, maybe a built-in rattle — these are all things that catch an angler’s eye, not necessarily a bass’s. But the truth is, what really sells […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v462OOSqhys Why Swimbaits on a Dropshot Excel Dropshot fishing has long been associated with finesse presentations, often utilizing straight-tail worms or small soft plastics.

By utilizing the Megabass Hazedong Shad in either the […]
The dropshot rig has long been a staple of finesse fishing — especially when targeting pressured or deep-water bass. Typically, anglers pair it with straight-tail worms, soft stickbaits, or goby imitators.
