Smoker Tackle SS Squirrely Shad

Smoker Tackle: SS Squirrely Shad

The Wide Wobbler with a Seductive Tail

The Smoker Tackle SS Squirrely Shad takes the proven, fish-catching profile of a classic shad bait and elevates it with a secondary action profile. Engineered for maximum water displacement and visual flair, this hybrid lure is a powerhouse for muskies and trophy northern pike looking for a larger, erratic meal.

Hybrid Action for Maximum Attraction

The SS Squirrely Shad is designed to offer two distinct types of vibration in a single presentation:

• Classic Shad Wobble: This crankbait maintains the same legendary shallow, wide wobbling action of the standard SS Shad.

• Soft Tail Enhancement: It features the added attraction of a soft rubber tail that ripples and kicks behind the bait.

• High-Impact Vibration: The combination of the deep-bodied "thump" and the fluid movement of the tail creates a complex signature that fish can track in stained water.

• Erratic Triggering: When twitched or paused, the tail continues to move even as the body stalls, making it a perfect trigger for following predators.

Built for Big Game

Smoker Tackle is known for producing "workhorse" lures that can take a beating:

• Rugged Construction: Built to withstand the crushing force of trophy fish and repeated contact with shallow structure.

• Large Profile: At 5.5 inches, it presents a substantial meal while remaining easy to cast all day.

• Balanced Weight: Weighing in at 2.8 oz, this bait provides excellent casting distance and remains stable even during aggressive retrieves.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tactic: The "Shallow Shelf Grind"

Because of its wide wobbling action and shallow-running nature, the SS Squirrely Shad is a master at working over the tops of rocky reefs and shallow weed shelves. Use a steady retrieve to let the bait "thump" its way through the water column. When you reach a pocket in the weeds, give it two quick twitches to make the tail whip, then pause. The bait will begin a slow rise while the tail flickers—this is the prime strike zone.

Give them something they haven't seen. The Smoker Tackle SS Squirrely Shad combines classic vibration with modern tail action to put more fish in the net.
