The Rad Shad is a very versatile soft plastic jerk bait.
The Rad Shad soft plastic jerk bait can be twitched side-to-side like a wounded baitfish with even the slightest rod movement. It is 5″ long with a belly hook slot making rigging it a dream and giving you hook sets that will enable you to get that bruiser every time. It is best Texas rigged weightless with any size EWG hook that gives you the confidence to land your fish. It also works great Carolina rigged.
This bait works wonders as a trailer for your favorite bladed swim jigs, especially the Head Shed Baits Wiggler!
Rig it on a Lazyman Hook and get those suspending schooling fish under control!
Wesley –
The Bruiser Baits Rad Shad is my go-to soft-plastic jerk bait simply due to its performance on the water. Even similar-styled swimmers do not create the same action the Rad Shad produces in the water. I’ve been most successful pairing it with LazyMan Hooks and using it as a trailer on the Head Shed vibrating swim jigs. The 5″ size, yet slim profile is perfect for getting instant reaction strikes upon hitting the water, and pulling the bass off ledges when fished deep. Each Rad Shad lasts several hooks sets because of the quality of construction!
