Compact Crankbait for Targeting Elusive Bass in Cover

Swimming Action

1. Targeting Stealthy Bass in Cover with Subtle Vibrations Beyond Crankbait Tactics

In autumn, when fishing around cover, crankbaits are a popular choice. However, their pronounced vibrations can sometimes be too aggressive for bass that have become skittish. This often leads to a decrease in bites. While shifting to soft-plastic or jigs offers a more subtle approach, it can also result in a slower fishing pace. This is precisely the scenario where the D-Bill Shad excels. Unlike standard crankbaits, the D-Bill Shad is specifically designed with a smaller size and a more understated action, making it an effective lure for even the most elusive bass. Among Jackall's range of small crankbaits, including the Soul Shad, the D-Bill Shad is distinguished by its exceptional performance around cover.

2. Three Key Features for Superior Obstacle Resistance

The Duckbill Design for Smooth Obstacle Navigation

Combining the best of round and square lips, this design allows the lure to effortlessly glide over obstacles. Its unique shape positions the hook behind the lip, greatly reducing snagging risks.

Stable Swimming Despite Contact with Obstacles

The Dual Mag Center of Gravity System securely holds the weight ball, ensuring it doesn't shift during retrieval. This design results in high straight-line stability, preventing the lure from performing a zigzag action even when it strikes obstacles.

Reduced Loss with Floating Design

The D-Bill Shad, unlike the suspending Soul Shad, is a floating lure. This feature ensures that if it gets snagged, stopping the retrieve will cause it to float up, significantly enhancing the likelihood of retrieval.

3. Soul Shad Ideal for Open Water and Light Cover

In areas less prone to snagging, Jackall's Soul Shad, another compact crankbait like the D-Bill Shad, is highly effective. The D-Bill Shad is renowned for its obstacle handling, but it's not as efficient in enticing bites. On the other hand, the Soul Shad may be more susceptible to obstacles than the D-Bill Shad, but it excels in triggering bites. It can stimulate bass feeding behavior in several ways, such as with jerking movements or zigzag actions upon striking objects. However, the standout feature of the Soul Shad is its capability for ultra-fast retrieval. This rapid action is unique to the Soul Shad and can effectively provoke reaction bites from bass.
For heavier cover, the D-Bill Shad is the preferred choice, while the Soul Shad shines in open water or lighter cover. Skillfully alternating between them can enhance your fishing success significantly.
