Missile Baits Spunk Shad Pintail Swimbait

Licensed from Hog Farmer Baits, the Spunk Shad combines a fat ribbed body with a tapered pintail. The design tracks naturally as a trailer or jig-head minnow and is available in four sizes so anglers can match forage from small shad to larger baitfish.

Why anglers choose it

• Fat ribbed body with a responsive pintail
• Available in 3-, 3.5-, 4.5- and 5.5-inch sizes
• Built for ChatterBaits, Scrounger heads and other baitfish presentations

How to fish it

Thread it straight on a bladed jig or Scrounger head so the bait stays centered and does not roll. It also works on a standard jig head for strolling or swimming, on an umbrella rig, and weightless when bass are feeding high in the water column. Choose smaller sizes for finesse or compact trailers and larger sizes when bass are keyed on bigger forage.

Best techniques

bladed jig trailer, Scrounger head, jig-head minnow, strolling, umbrella rig, weightless swimbait.

Where and when to use it

Fish it over grass, along points, through bait schools, around docks and across open-water structure. The slender tail excels when fish want a restrained baitfish action instead of a hard paddle-tail kick.

Target species

Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and spotted bass; larger sizes may also interest striped bass where appropriate.
