CWC Pig Shad Small Soft Lure 15 - 15 cm

Product advantages

Designed by CWC for demanding anglers, the Pig Shad Small soft lure is a versatile shad that faithfully imitates a baitfish. Its balanced profile, generous tail and soft material give it a smooth, powerful swim capable of triggering strikes from even the wariest pike, zander and sea bass, whether in rivers, lakes, or coastal areas.

The design of the CWC Pig Shad Small soft lure emphasizes both attraction and durability. The material, soft yet resistant, can withstand many fish without tearing too quickly, while remaining flexible enough to perform at both very slow and high retrieval speeds. Phthalate-free, this lure also meets the expectations of anglers concerned about the environmental impact of their gear.

Benefits and strengths

The main strength of the Pig Shad Small lies in its ability to swim correctly in all conditions. Whether the retrieve is slow, steady or jerky, the tail immediately comes into action and emits strong vibrations detectable from afar by predators. This consistency makes it a reliable shad lure for pike, zander and sea bass year-round, effective on both active fish and more reluctant specimens.

Another major advantage is its versatility. The same lure can cover many spots: shorelines, weedbeds, sandbank edges, bridge piles or deeper holes. By simply adjusting the weight and retrieval speed, the angler can explore several water layers without changing baits. This simplicity reassures beginners while allowing experienced anglers to fully exploit the capabilities of the Pig Shad Small range.

Usage tips

To get the most out of this CWC soft lure, adjust the retrieval speed to fish activity. In cold water or when predators seem sluggish, a slow, steady presentation close to the bottom often triggers solid bites. During periods of intense activity, alternate bursts of speed, pauses and stronger pulls to create a disorderly, highly provocative swim.

The Pig Shad Small soft lure also works very well for vertical fishing over drop-offs, wrecks or submerged structures. Let the lure fall close to the bottom, then animate it with small rod-tip movements while controlling line tension; this is enough to make the tail vibrate and entice posted fish. Don’t hesitate to vary presentation depth to quickly find the holding level of pike, zander or sea bass.
