Shads & softbaits

Shads & softbaits

Softbaits are popular lures for predatory anglers, with the shads being the best known for years. You read it right, shads are also softbaits. Yet we make a distinction between these two types of lures. A shad is mainly a simple form of a fish without a head. Also the color combination is usually quite simple. The action of the shad comes mainly from the tail. For a shad you always need a lead head to use it.
Shads up to 12 cm are mainly used for perch and zander fish. Shads larger than 12 cm are used more for pike fishing.

A softbait is usually a lure with more detailed drawings, colors and/or shape. A softbait is often already equipped with hooks, trebles and/or leadhead. Because of this a softbait can be used immediately. Softbaits are mainly used for pike fish, but they can also be used for large zander. Small softbaits are of course suitable for small predatory fish such as perch.

Several softbaits are characterized by their size and weight. The catfish is a very large predatory fish and therefore also likes large baitfish. 

Tip; try to switch with colours and models. It can differ every time what the predatory fish needs.
