Shads are the newest and particularly effective way to catch those big fish. At FlohPro, we have an extensive selection of these must-have softbaits that will help you hook those big ones.
What are shads?
Shads are soft lures (softbaits) that imitate baitfish. Thanks to their flexible body and tail action, you get lifelike movement even at low retrieval speeds. This makes shads versatile: from slow fishing along slopes to actively casting for hunting predatory fish.
What can you use shads for?
The possibilities for using softbaits are endless. Whether you're targeting pike, perch, or even zander, this lure is versatile enough to attract any predatory fish. Whether you fish in freshwater or saltwater, this lure is an absolute gamechanger for every angler.
The secret of softbaits is realistic action
But let's dive deeper into why this lure is so effective. The secret lies in their realistic action underwater. Because of their soft, flexible body, they move in a natural and lifelike way, even at slow retrieval speeds. This makes them irresistible to predatory fish, which instinctively react to their prey.
The FlohPro range
At FlohPro, we have softbaits in all shapes and sizes. From small shads for fine finesse fishing to large versions for the real predators, we have something for everyone. With our wide range of colors and designs, you can be sure to find the perfect variants that suit the conditions you fish in.
Easy to use
A shad is very easy to use. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this lure is a real asset. You can mount them directly on a jig head for a simple setup or customize them to your own fishing style—the possibilities are endless.
How to choose the right shad?
- Size: smaller for finesse or heavily fished waters, larger for murky water or when you want to fish more selectively.
- Color: natural for clear water; brighter/UV for dark water or low light.
- Action: a subtle tail for cautious bites, a larger paddle tail if you want extra vibrations.
Rigging & techniques
The most common setup is a shad on a jig head for casting or jigging. If you want an even more subtle presentation, look at dropshot shads. If you do a lot of casting, a fine spinning rod is a logical match for this type of lure.
