Steel Shad Original Blade Bait

The SteelShad Original Blade Bait is a compact, durable vibrating blade bait designed to imitate a dying or fleeing baitfish with a tight, responsive presentation. Measuring 2-3/4 inches and weighing 3/8 ounce, the Original SteelShad combines a stainless-steel body with a molded lead weight to provide a compact profile that is well suited for casting, jigging, and covering water.

The stainless-steel construction delivers durability while the molded lead weight provides balance and helps the lure produce its characteristic vibration. The compact baitfish profile makes the Original SteelShad an excellent choice when fish are feeding on smaller forage or when anglers need a versatile blade bait that can be worked through different portions of the water column.

One of the defining features of the Original SteelShad is its tunable tail. Anglers can bend the tail approximately 45 degrees to either side to change how the bait runs. This adjustment can help bring the lure toward the surface when fishing around vegetation or other shallow cover, giving anglers additional control over the presentation.

Two #6 VMC Permasteel hooks provide dependable hook coverage and are coated for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Available in a wide selection of baitfish-inspired colors, the SteelShad Original is a versatile blade bait for bass, walleye, pike, and other predatory game fish.
