Yamamoto 5″ D-Shad Smallmouth Magic

The Yamamoto D-Shad offers a fresh take on the beloved soft-body jerk bait, injecting a significant advantage with its increased weight. This added density empowers anglers to impart more aggressive and erratic actions during retrieves, making it ideal for triggering reaction strikes. Furthermore, the D-Shad’s weight versatility allows for effective fishing throughout the entire water column, proving particularly useful when targeting fish favoring faster presentations. Unlike traditional jerk baits that suspend or slowly rise, the D-Shad exhibits a compelling Senko-like sink on the pause, presenting a different and often irresistible profile. The inclusion of a heavier tail amplifies the lure’s appeal, generating an enticing shimmy that has proven to drive fish into a frenzy.
