Gary Yamamoto "D" Shad

The Gary Yamamoto D Shad is a premium 5-inch soft plastic jerkbait that combines the erratic side-to-side action of a traditional fluke with the legendary shimmy of a Senko. Unlike standard soft jerkbaits, the D Shad features a heavier, thicker tail that allows it to cast farther, sink level through the water column, and produce a subtle wobbling action on the fall that consistently triggers strikes from pressured bass.

Whether fished weightless over grass, twitched around docks, skipped beneath overhangs, or rigged on a weighted hook, the D Shad delivers unmatched versatility. Its dense, salt-impregnated plastic keeps the bait in the strike zone longer and allows anglers to fish faster without the lure skipping across the surface. Perfect for largemouth and smallmouth bass, the D Shad is an excellent choice when bass are feeding on shad or other baitfish.
