MADNESS Bakuree Shad KB Soft Shad 80 - 8 cm

Product advantages

The Madness Bakuree Shad KB is a soft shad lure developed for demanding anglers who want maximum efficiency in minimum time. The "KB" version stands out with a bulkier body than the original model, giving it greater presence in the water and an even more attractive swim.

Designed for fast linear prospecting as well as vertical fishing, this lure offers great versatility. Whether you're quickly covering a large area or focusing precisely on a marked spot, the Bakuree Shad KB remains stable, responsive and extremely fishable.

Impregnated with the exclusive Bakuru Formula attractant, it emits an olfactory and gustatory signal that keeps fish in the mouth longer. Zander, perch and bass often attack it aggressively, reducing tentative bites and significantly increasing the hook-up rate.

• Swim optimized for power fishing in linear retrieves and vertical techniques.


• Lure impregnated with the Bakuru Formula attractant for enhanced effectiveness.


• Particularly suited to zander, perch and bass fishing.


• Usable in both freshwater and coastal marine environments.

Benefits and strengths

The main strength of the Bakuree Shad KB lies in its size-to-presence ratio. Its bulky body offers a generous silhouette without compromising swim quality. The result: an attractive bite that targets active or wary fish when you need to present a larger profile while maintaining a natural action.

Its swim has been tuned to remain smooth and stable even at higher retrieval speeds. In linear fishing, it allows you to quickly cover large areas while keeping excellent selectivity for big specimens. In vertical fishing, its volume and attractant encourage fish posted near the bottom to come out of hiding.

The impregnation with Bakuru Formula is another decisive asset. This specific attractant enhances the lure's realism by adding an extra chemical signal. Predators tend to hold the lure longer in their mouth, giving the angler the time needed to set the hook properly — often the difference with educated fish or during low-activity periods.

The Bakuree Shad KB is suitable for both experienced anglers and beginners. Its effectiveness does not rely on complex maneuvers: a simple steady linear retrieve or controlled vertical lifts are enough to make it deadly. This ease of use makes it an excellent base choice for a lure box geared towards zander, perch and bass fishing.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the Madness Bakuree Shad KB, rig it on a jighead suited to the depth and current of the fishing spot. A standard-shaped jighead fits most situations, while a more streamlined head can be useful for drifting or strong currents.

For linear prospecting, cast at distance, let the lure reach the desired layer (often near the bottom for zander or in midwater for active perch and bass), then retrieve at a steady speed. Slightly vary cadence and add short twitches to trigger following fish.

In vertical fishing, position yourself above the target area (breaks, obstacles, wrecks, bridge piles, rock heads…) and let the lure drop straight down. Animate with short, precise rod lifts while keeping constant contact with the bottom. The bulky body and integrated attractant often make the difference with fish laid tight to the substrate.

Don't hesitate to test different animation speeds according to season and fish mood. In cold water, slower movements and marked pauses may be required, while in high-activity periods, a faster retrieve will fully exploit the power fishing potential of this shad.
