Soft Lure Megabass SPARK SHAD 5" - 12.5 cm

Product highlights

The Megabass Spark Shad soft lure is an ultra-dense shad designed to come alive at the slightest stimulus. Its compact material perfectly transmits the angler's smallest animation and allows a realistic, vibrating action, even at very low speed. This reactive behaviour makes it a deadly tool to trigger bites from educated or lethargic fish.

Thanks to its studied profile and mobile tail, the Spark Shad generates strong water displacement while maintaining a natural swim, similar to an injured baitfish. It therefore constitutes a versatile predator shad, effective in fresh water as well as slightly brackish environments, and suitable for many predatory species.

Technical specifications

• Dense soft body for excellent transmission of animations and enhanced stability.
• Imitative shad profile faithfully reproducing the silhouette of a baitfish.
• Integrated belly slit allowing a weedless Texas rig.
• Designed dorsal notch to position the hook point close to the skin, improving stealth and hook-up rate.
• Compatible with Texas rigs and classic jigheads for great versatility.
• Immediate action at the slightest line movement, even at slow retrieves.
• Range available in several sizes and colours to suit different waters and predators.

Benefits and strengths

The main asset of the Megabass Spark Shad lies in its ability to be fishable as soon as it enters the water. Its density allows long, accurate casts even without heavy weighting, making it ideal for linear predator fishing over large water surfaces or along ledges.

When rigged Texas-style, it passes easily through weeds, branches and snaggy areas while remaining supple enough to guarantee a smooth action. On a jighead, it offers a perfect presentation to cover different water layers and provide an imitation of an injured fish that's hard for pike, zander or big perch to ignore.

Its careful design also ensures excellent hook retention, limiting premature tears and offering good durability even during intensive fishing. It's a technical soft lure that remains accessible to beginner anglers thanks to its intuitive handling.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the Spark Shad, favor a linear retrieve punctuated with slight accelerations or pauses. Its tail will instantly react, creating attractive vibrations. In deeper zones, a pull-and-release animation, alternating sharp pulls and controlled pauses, allows effective prospecting of ledges and holes.

On a Texas rig, match the hook size to the lure and make sure to place the point in the dorsal notch to keep a perfectly straight profile. On a jighead, choose a weight adapted to depth and current to maintain contact with the bottom without hindering the shad's natural swim.

Don't hesitate to vary retrieve speeds, prospecting angles and fished zones (borders, flats, drop-offs, structures) to fully exploit this soft predator lure. It can be used from shore, boat or float-tube.
