Soft Jerkbait Capable of Swimming Vertically and Executing a 'Leaping Action

1. Leaping dart action mimicking baitfish escaping towards the water surface

Traditional soft jerkbaits easily dart side to side, perfectly mimicking baitfish frantically escaping across the water surface.

However, DEPS aimed for a more realistic baitfish movement, which means not only darting side to side but also escaping vertically. This led to the creation of the Sakamata Shad.

The Sakamata Shad features a keel on its body sides, unlike traditional soft jerkbaits. This keel creates water resistance, guiding the body upwards. With a light jerk on an unweighted Texas rig, the Sakamata Shad darts side to side while occasionally bursting energetically out of the water. Utilize its "leaping dart action" to catch the big bass that have eluded you until now.

2. Soft High-Density Material for Darting with a Sinuous Body Movement

The Sakamata Shad is made from a softer high-density material compared to traditional soft jerkbaits. While focusing solely on darting actions, materials like those used in Zoom's FLUKE could be hardened to enhance the sharpness of darts, allowing for fast swimming speeds that excite bass actively pursuing prey. However, DEPS aimed to create a soft jerkbait that mimics a "realistic, frantically escaping baitfish." Therefore, by utilizing a soft high-density material, the Sakamata Shad darts while sinuously moving its body, just like a real baitfish.

SAKAMATA SHAD 6”	1/2 oz
Other Soft-jerkbait 6”	1/4 oz

Thanks to its high-density material, the Sakamata Shad significantly outperforms other soft jerkbaits in terms of castability. For instance, while a 6-inch soft jerkbait from other brands weighs about 1/4 oz, the 6-inch Sakamata Shad weighs more than 1/2 oz, making it over twice as heavy. Despite its weight, the keel creates water resistance, resulting in a slower fall speed. This allows bass, triggered by the lure's multidirectional darting with a sinuous body movement, to catch up to the lure effectively.

3. Perfect Match for the Trendy Power-mid-strolling Technique Targeting Deep Trophy Bass

In recent years, power-mid-strolling using soft-plastics over 5 inches has become popular in Japan, with the Sakamata Shad pioneering this trend. Originally, it was Lake Biwa's guide pros who began mid-strolling with the Sakamata Shad over 5 inches, equipped with jigheads weighing more than 3.5g(1/8oz), targeting suspended bass in the deep areas of the northern part of Lake Biwa. Therefore, the Sakamata Shad has become the perfect soft-plastic for power-mid-strolling. Additionally, the Horizon Head LG series, a jighead specially designed by the aforementioned guide pros, has been released. This jighead is designed to allow the hook to be inserted as close to the top of the body as possible, facilitating easier rolling of the soft-plastic. It is an ideal choice for those looking to try deep power-mid-strolling for the first time.

4. Choose the Heavyweight Version for Bottom Fishing with an Unweighted Texas Rig

The Sakamata Shad Heavyweight model, with an even higher density than the original, has been released. Previously, anglers used the technique of inserting nail weights into the body of the original Sakamata Shad to fish it in the 3-4m(9.8-13.1feet) depth range, but adjusting it for the ideal falling posture required multiple attempts. Enter the Heavyweight model, with salt content maximized to the extreme. Compared to the original, its lower body is heavier, allowing for a more natural posture during the fall and darting action resembling crawling along the bottom.
