The uncanny bite-getting performance of the original 3” model has been upgraded to a meaty 4.2” version specifically for North American waters. Maintaining the proven profile and high-frequency tail action of the original, the 4.2” is a deadly addition to high-pressure scenarios and clear water conditions.
Featuring a tasty profile and carefully layered material of different densities, the HAZEDONG SHAD is able to maintain excellent stability even when used with no sinker rigs. This layering process also allows for ultra-realistic two-tone patterns, to fool even the wariest of fish.
The super-thin shad tail catches the water even during dead-slow retrieves and delicate shaking, triggering targets with its natural vibrations.
The slits in the belly allow the body to compress when bitten, increasing hookup rates. Adding an offset hook helps as well.
NO SINKER RIG
No sinker rigs highlight the HAZEDONG SHAD’s natural actions, and are great for clear water presentations, delivering bites in even the toughest conditions.
JIG HEAD RIG
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.
There’s no denying the power of big swimbaits, but there are times when pressured bass, clear water, or tough conditions call for a different approach. That’s where finesse swimbaiting comes in. By downsizing your presentation and focusing on natural forage imitation, you can generate bites that bigger offerings won’t get. Two of the best tools […]
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. But when California pro Chris Zaldain heads north chasing big smallmouth in the summer, he brings something a little different: a swimbait. Specifically, Zaldain […]
The Anti-Finesse Approach As mapping accuracy improves and marine electronics continue to compress competitive advantages, bass in heavily pressured fisheries have adjusted accordingly. In the forward-facing sonar era, finesse techniques dominate much of the conversation, but their widespread adoption has also made them increasingly predictable. In that environment, separation often comes not from refinement, but […]
