Slammer 5" Rattling Slammer Shad

Slammer Tackle: 5" Rattling Slammer Shad

The Ultimate Match-the-Hatch Profile for Deep & Shallow Water

The 5" Slammer Shad from Slammer Tackle Co. is a rattling, shallow-running powerhouse designed for waters where shad-bodied baitfish are the primary forage. From the clear waters of the Great Lakes to the expansive southern reservoirs, this lure provides a realistic profile that big-game predators find irresistible. Whether you are casting into shallow cover or trolling deep breaks, the 5" Shad delivers the vibration and durability needed to land trophy fish.

Built to Outperform Standard Plastic Lures

Unlike hollow plastic baits that can crack or leak under pressure, the 5" Slammer Shad is engineered for maximum longevity and consistent performance:

• Solid High-Impact Plastic: Molded from solid material that is completely tooth-proof and leak-proof. Even after repeated strikes from big Muskies and Pike, this bait will never fill with water.

• Thru-Wire Construction: Built with a continuous stainless steel thru-wire from the eyelet to the hooks, ensuring your hardware never pulls out during the fight.

• Internal Rattles: Features a high-decibel rattle chamber that calls fish in from a distance and triggers aggressive strikes in stained or turbulent water.

Depth & Speed Performance

The 5" Slammer Shad is a versatile tool for both casting and trolling scenarios:

• Casting Depth: Reaches 4 to 5 feet, making it ideal for working over the tops of submerged vegetation, rip-rap, or rocky flats.

• Trolling Depth: Capable of diving down to 14 feet at speeds up to 4 mph, maintaining an aggressive, stable action throughout.

Pro Tactic: The Reservoir Rip

In southern reservoirs where shad are abundant, use the 5" Slammer Shad to pick apart shallow points and secondary breaks. When casting, use a "rip-and-pause" retrieve. The internal rattles will engage sharply during the rip, and the solid plastic buoyancy allows the lure to hang momentarily during the pause—mimicking a stunned shad and forcing a reaction strike from trailing predators.

Don't settle for hollow lures that fail. Add the tooth-proof durability of the Slammer 5" Shad to your tackle box today.
