B & N Talonz Rippin Shad

Compact Power: B&N Talonz Rippin’ Shad

Small profile, massive impact. The B&N Talonz Rippin’ Shad is the ultimate tool for anglers who need a downsized presentation that still packs the punch of a heavyweight lure. Perfect for high-pressure days or when predators are keyed in on smaller forage, this 4-inch powerhouse is built to withstand the most violent strikes in freshwater.

Overbuilt for the Battle

Don’t let the size fool you. While many small crankbaits fail under the pressure of a trophy Muskie or Pike, the Rippin’ Shad is engineered with industrial-grade components:

• Through-Wire Strength: Features heavy-duty through-wire construction using .057 stainless spring wire for absolute structural integrity.

• Lexan Lip: Equipped with a durable Lexan lip that provides a consistent, high-vibration action and can survive impacts with rocks and timber.

• Premium Hardware: Outfitted with stainless steel split rings and razor-sharp Eagle Claw 375M 2/0 Hooks to ensure a rock-solid hookset every time.

Aggressive Action

Measuring 5 inches total with the lip, the Rippin’ Shad lives up to its name. It features a high-frequency "rip" and shimmy that sends intense vibrations through the water column, making it easy for predators to track even in stained or murky water.

💡 Pro Tip: The "Burn and Burn" Method

Because of its compact size and through-wire design, the Rippin’ Shad can handle incredibly high speeds without blowing out. When the water warms up or you're fishing over fast-growing summer weeds, try high-speed cranking. Burn the lure back as fast as you can for 10 feet, then give the rod a sharp "rip" forward before resuming the speed. This sudden burst of speed often triggers a "flight or fight" response from trailing fish.
