Combining the erratic and evasive Headbanger movement with the fish-like characteristics of the fixed exchangeable paddle tail, the Headbanger Shad is a predator teaser with an action that no other lure can offer.

It works really well with a simple straight retrieve, but excels when used with pauses and small twitches.

The suspending version is a great allround choice and ideal for the fishing on 1.5-2.5 m (5-8.2 ft) depths. It hangs beautifully in the water during pauses. A hot tip is to pause the lure with a small twitch, which will make the lure turn 90 degrees to the side and face any following predator and no doubt produce a strike.

The lure has a wire-through-body construction and is equipped with rattle balls of different sizes for a fuller sound. The lure is lead-free and the weights inside are made of stainless steel. Trolls up to 2.2 knots / 2.5 mph / 4 km/h.
