Deps Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait 5"

The Deps Sakamata Shad 5" is a legendary soft jerkbait crafted for explosive reaction bites. Designed in Japan, it features a deep-cut belly and split tail that mimic an injured baitfish with unmatched realism. Whether fished weightless, on a belly-weighted hook, or with a light Texas rig, the Sakamata Shad glides, darts, and flutters in a way that triggers even the most pressured bass. This is a must-have for anglers targeting big fish in clear water, especially during post-spawn or high-pressure conditions. Ideal for skipping under docks, fishing around grass lines, or dead-sticking in open water.

Molded with a deep grove along the belly for improved hook penetration and hook slots along the back to tex-pose your hook point for perfectly weedless rigging, the Deps Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait is deadly when fished weightless on your favorite EWG style hook and twitched at both slow and fast speeds. Other rigging techniques that are also very popular in Japan are rigging the Deps Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait on a small split shot rig or a heavy Carolina-rig to target fish in deeper water. Offered in multiple colors and sizes, the Deps Sakamata Shad Soft Jerkbait is a new take on the classic soft jerkbait to give the fish a new look and help you bring more weight to the scales.
