CWC Piglet Shad Soft Lure - 10 cm

Product Advantages

The CWC PIGLET SHAD soft shad lure is a benchmark model for anglers seeking a predator soft lure that is both technical and easy to use. Its specific design relies on the combination of two PVC densities and a salt-enriched tail, which gives it a unique behavior in the water, particularly appreciated during pauses and minimalist animations.

Thanks to its hydrodynamic profile and a constriction positioned at two thirds of its body, this shad develops a very lively swim at the slightest pull. The tail immediately springs into action, producing a regular thump and an attractive vibration that triggers strikes even from wary fish. The PIGLET SHAD soft lure thus excels both in rapid prospecting and in slower, more precise fishing.

The rear section, denser and salted, allows the lure to position itself naturally and offers a controlled fall, ideal for a weightless rig or lightly weighted setups. This added stability reduces line twist and helps maintain an impeccable presentation, whatever retrieval style is chosen.

Technical Specifications

• Soft PVC construction with differentiated densities between the body and the tail to optimize swimming action and balance.
• Salted tail adding extra weight to the rear of the lure for a more stable and natural fall.
• Engineered profile with a constriction at two thirds of the body to enhance mobility and flexibility with a simple pull.
• Highly attractive swimming action achieved with linear retrieves, stop-and-go (sawtooth) retrieves, or by scrubbing near the bottom.
• Soft shad lure specially designed for predator fishing such as pike, zander or perch.
• Compatible with many rigs: jigheads, Texas rig, weightless rig and other classic soft-lure setups.
• Available in a range of options to suit various fishing conditions and light levels.

Advantages and Highlights

The primary advantage of the PIGLET SHAD lies in its versatility. Whether fishing from shore or from a boat, with steady retrieves, pulls or vertically, this soft lure for predators adapts easily to your fishing style. Its ability to swim correctly at different speeds allows you to quickly cover large water areas while remaining effective on posted or less active fish.

The combination of bi-density PVC and the salted tail offers an excellent compromise between suppleness and hook-holding. The lure remains robust enough to handle repeated strikes while maintaining a very fluid swim. This feature makes it an asset for focusing on marked spots without having to change lures frequently.

Its attractive swimming on simple pulls makes life easier for both beginner and experienced anglers. It is not necessary to master complex animations: a steady retrieve punctuated by short pauses is often enough to trigger strikes. For expert anglers, this reliable base also allows more technical animations, such as short jerks, hops near the bottom or controlled drops.

Finally, the PIGLET SHAD soft shad fits perfectly into a modern predator fishing approach, where discreet, realistic and highly mobile presentations are favored. Its ability to remain stable while swimming, even at low speed, makes it an ideal choice when fish are wary or fishing pressure is high.

Usage Tips

To make the most of this soft shad lure, choose the rig according to depth and structure. In clear or shallow areas, a weightless rig or very lightly weighted setup highlights the lure’s natural fall and the stability brought by its salted tail. This configuration is particularly effective for slow animations with long pauses.

In deeper sectors or when facing current, using a suitable jighead keeps contact with the bottom and allows fishing with pulls or sawtooth retrieves. Simply perform firm jerks followed by controlled releases to let the PIGLET SHAD glide and undulate before continuing.

When vegetation or structures likely to snag are present, a Texas rig is strongly recommended. The hook hidden in the body of the lure allows passage through obstacles while preserving good hooking performance on strikes. Don’t hesitate to vary retrieval cadence, alternating fast animations and marked pauses to find the rhythm that will trigger the most strikes.

Also remember to adapt the lure’s color and size to current conditions: water clarity, light intensity, and fish activity. The complete range provides several variants to refine your presentation throughout the day.
