The bite-producing qualities of the original 3” model have been scaled up to a beefy 4.2” version tailored for North American waters. Retaining the familiar silhouette and high-frequency tail action, the 4.2” HAZEDONG SHAD excels in pressured fisheries and crystal-clear water. Built from layered materials of varying densities, the HAZEDONG SHAD holds exceptional balance even when fished on no-sinker setups. The density layering also permits highly realistic two-tone finishes that can deceive even the wariest bass. Its ultra-thin shad tail picks up water on dead-slow retrieves and subtle shakes, producing lifelike vibrations that provoke strikes. Strategic slits along the belly let the body compress under a bite, improving hookup rates; pairing with an offset hook further enhances penetration and holding power. NO SINKER RIGNo-sinker presentations emphasize the HAZEDONG SHAD’s natural movement, making it ideal for clear water situations and capable of coaxing bites where other baits fail. JIG HEAD RIGPerfect for long mid-range retrieves, strolling, and retrieves punctuated by gentle shakes of the rod, the flat-side body produces natural flashing and action that attracts bass.
