About this product

Crusader Shads are fast-action soft lures from Sidewinder, shaped to look like sprat or herring. They work well fished slowly over wrecks or bounced along the bottom on a drift.

Each shad comes on a double-chromed head with a top-quality Mustad 32786 hook. There are two 4-inch, 23g shads in each pack, both in Rhubarb & Custard.

Shaped like sprat or herringA close match for the small baitfish that predators hunt.
Ready to fishDouble-chromed heads and Mustad hooks come fitted.

How to use

Fishing in three steps

1Work it slowly over wrecks

Lift and drop it steadily so the tail keeps kicking without racing away.

2Bounce it on the drift

Let it touch bottom, lift it, and repeat as the boat drifts.

3Rinse after salt water

Rinse and dry the heads and hooks, then store the shads straight.

Exactly as described

Mixed feelings

I expected the shape to be better. I kept it, but I would want one or two things improved. The colour is what I would flag.
