The Headbanger Shad 6" combines the patented erratic, evasive headbanging action with a fixed, replaceable paddle tail — a swimming action that triggers even the most lethargic pike, muskellunge, and lake trout to strike. It works with a simple straight retrieve, but excels with pauses and twitches.Why anglers fish the Headbanger Shad 6" Patented erratic action — moves like nothing else in the water Replaceable paddle tail — twists off the corkscrew anchor in seconds; two pegs keep it locked in position while fishing Three buoyancies — floating, suspending, and sinking cover 0–13 ft Wire-through construction — lead-free, with stainless steel weights and multi-size rattle balls for a fuller sound All-round 6-inch size — the proven pick when pike want a full meal but not a giant bait When and how to fish itUse the Floating version (0–5 ft) over weed beds and shallow flats, the Suspending version (5–8.5 ft) when fish follow but won't commit — it hangs motionless on the pause — and the Sinking version (6.5–13 ft) for deeper edges and cold water.
