What are Crusader Shads best for?

They are best for slow work over wrecks or bouncing near bottom on a drift, especially where a compact shad profile suits the drift or wreck mark.

What do they imitate?

The fast-action profile is made to imitate sprat or herring-style prey, giving predators a small baitfish target.

Are jig heads and hooks included?

Fitted with Mustad 32786 hooks. Double chromed heads are part of the setup, so inspect them before fishing.

How many shads are in the pack?

2 x 4 inch lures are supplied in the Rhubarb & Custard colour, giving you a matched spare for the session.

What size and weight is this lure?

This Crusader Shad is 23g 4 inch, helping you match it to rod rating, drift speed, tide and depth.

Can I fish it slowly?

Yes. The product is suited to slow work over wrecks as well as bouncing near bottom on a drift.

Which colour is this option?

This option is Rhubarb & Custard, so choose it when that shade suits the water colour, light and prey profile.

How should I maintain it?

Rinse hooks and heads after saltwater use, dry them properly and store the soft bodies so they do not kink.

Good kit. Real people.
