Leurre Souple CWC Pig Shad JR - 20 cm

Product highlights

Designed by CWC, the PIG SHAD JR soft lure has become a benchmark for predator fishing. Inspired by the silhouette of real forage fish, it delivers an ultra-realistic swim that triggers strikes from the wariest pike. Its tuned profile allows it to come to life on the first turns of the reel, even at low retrieval speeds.

This shad is made for demanding anglers looking for a pike lure able to cover many situations without multiplying models. Its durable, soft material generates strong vibrations while withstanding repeated impacts and the teeth of large fish. Thanks to its versatile profile, it can be fished both in steady retrieve and by jerking, adapting to different spots and water bodies.

Technical specifications

• Streamlined shad with a wide tail for a broad, vibrating swim.
• Designed to perform equally well on slow retrieves and at higher speeds.
• Body substantial enough to accept various rigs and accessories without restricting action.
• Durable soft material formulated phthalate-free to reduce environmental impact.
• Compatible with stinger rigs for open-water fishing.
• Can be rigged on a Texas rig to pass through heavy cover and weedbeds.
• Capable of accepting weights or jigheads to explore deeper water layers.

Thanks to this design, the PIG SHAD JR maintains a fluid, attractive swim even when equipped with heavy rigs or extra accessories. The powerful tail beat is accompanied by a pronounced body rolling, making it highly visible and noticeable to predators, even in stained water or low light conditions.

Benefits and strengths

One of the main strengths of this soft shad lure is its ease of use. A simple cast-and-retrieve is enough to make it fishable: no need to master complex animations to get the most out of it. This accessibility makes it an excellent choice for beginner anglers while remaining technical enough to satisfy pike specialists.

Another advantage is that the PIG SHAD JR soft lure does not require a very heavy-power rod. Its balanced design allows it to be cast and animated with versatile spinning or casting rods, avoiding unnecessary equipment weight. It thus becomes an ideal ally for long fishing days where comfort and fatigue matter.

Finally, its versatile rigging options allow it to cover a wide range of situations: fishing along margins, prospecting holes, retrieving above weedbeds, drifting from a boat or float-tube. A single model is enough to adapt presentation according to conditions, seasons and fish mood.

Usage tips

To get the most from this CWC pike lure, start with a simple steady retrieve. Cast, let the lure sink to the desired depth, then retrieve at a steady pace while occasionally adding short pauses. These stops often trigger strikes from following fish that hesitate to bite.

When predators are positioned in open water, a rig with a stiff leader and stinger system is particularly suitable. It optimizes hooking while preserving a natural swim. In areas with weedbeds or snags, favor a Texas rig to reduce snags and allow tight passes near obstacles.

Don’t hesitate to vary retrieve speeds, alternate slow and more aggressive actions, and change search depths during the day. The PIG SHAD JR range offers different variants so you can match lure size to available prey and fish behavior while keeping the same swim signature.

FAQ

Question 1: Is this soft lure only suitable for pike or also for other predators?

Answer: Although particularly effective as a pike lure, the PIG SHAD JR can also entice other predators such as zander, large perch or bass when they feed on large forage fish. Its shad profile, powerful swim and phthalate-free soft material make it a relevant choice whenever fish target voluminous, highly visible prey.
