Smoker Tackle SS Shad 5.5" Crankbait

Shallow Water Versatility: Smoker Tackle SS Shad 5.5"

The Smoker Tackle SS Shad is a specialized crankbait engineered for dominance in shallow water. Whether you are working weed edges or rocky shorelines, this 5.5" lure provides a realistic profile and high-impact action that trophy predators can't ignore.

Why the SS Shad Excels

The SS Shad is designed to cover the upper water column with precision. Its weight and balance make it a dream to cast, while its stability ensures it tracks perfectly even under the pressure of a high-speed troll.

• Shallow Water Specialist: This lure excels in the "danger zone," running 0–3 feet when casted, making it ideal for burning over submerged vegetation.

• Trolling Depth: When put on a plane for trolling, the SS Shad dives deeper, reaching depths of up to 6 feet to target fish suspended just off the shallow breaks.

• Substantial Profile: At 5.5" long and weighing in at 2.6 oz, it offers the "big meal" presence required to move large Pike and Muskie without being too heavy for all-day casting.

Key Specifications

Pro Tip: Use the SS Shad when fish are active in the early morning shallows. A high-speed "burn and pause" retrieve during casting will often trigger explosive reaction strikes from fish hiding in the weeds.
