Nils Master Junior Shad

Expand your high-finesse arsenal with the Nils Master Junior Shad. While the Baby Shad is the smallest member of the family, the Junior Shad was specifically crafted for the North American market to provide a slightly larger, bolder profile that mimics local sunfish fry and larger baitfish spawn.

Like its smaller sibling, this lure is handcrafted in Finland and is notoriously difficult to find in the United States.

Key Features:

• Targeted Profile: Features a shorter, broader, and flatter body than standard balance jigs, designed to imitate the specific forage found in North American lakes.

• Aggressive Swimming Action: Engineered to swim faster than a regular jig, it moves with a lively, natural action that provokes aggressive reaction strikes.

• Distinct Vibration: The Junior Shad is designed to vibrate slightly during the swim, a unique trigger that has been proven effective for salmonids, walleye, and jumbo perch.

• Hand-Tuned Precision: Each unit is individually balanced and tank-tested to ensure the signature "figure-eight" vertical glide is perfect right out of the package.

• Versatile Depths: While the Baby Shad is perfect for shallow-to-mid depths, the Junior Shad’s increased weight makes it an excellent choice for targeting Zander and Walleye in deeper water.

Junior Shad Specifications:

• Length: 2.4" (6 cm)

• Weight: 1/2 oz (16 g)

• Primary Targets: Monster Walleye, Northern Pike, Zander, and Jumbo Perch.

Pro Tip: For the best results, fish the Junior Shad on a thin line to maximize its natural, enticing vibration and swimming distance.

Condition Note: Vintage Original Packaging

Please note that while these lures are brand new and never used, they are original stock with some age. Because of their age, the original packaging may show significant wear, including yellowing, scuffs, or "rough" edges. However, the lures themselves remain in pristine, factory-new condition, preserved exactly as they were when they left the workshop in Finland.
