The Rab-Shad was built to imitate the movement, shape, and subtle energy of a real shad baitfish—the most important forage in bass fishing. Shad are soft-bodied, silver-sided baitfish that school in open water and make up a huge portion of the diet for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. When bass are keyed in on shad, they demand baits that look and move like the real thing.
The Rab-Shad’s hand-tied natural fur tail gives it that extra touch of realism. Each individual hair moves independently, creating micro-pulses that mimic a shad’s tail and gill flicks. Combined with its streamlined, balanced body design, the Rab-Shad glides and darts with the same subtle rhythm of a fleeing baitfish—making it deadly when bass are suspended or schooling.
Whether fished weightless around grass, twitched through open water, or used as a trailer on a Chatterbait, Spinnerbait, or Swim jig. The Rab-Shad delivers a soft, natural presentation that convinces pressured bass to commit. The blend of natural fur and soft plastic creates a true multi-sensory bait that looks alive even when standing still.
