A paddle tail swimbait equipped with Sakamata Shad-inspired fins for stable swimming from slow to fast retrieves.

1. Side Fins Catch Water to Control Posture and Action

The side fins—an inherited feature from the original Sakamata Shad—firmly catch water to help maintain a natural swimming posture, preventing the lure from taking on an unnatural head-down attitude. At the same time, by receiving water resistance, these fins do more than just let the tail kick—they help the lure swing its head properly from the front of the body.

2. A Low Center of Gravity Creates a Stable Swimming Posture That Resists Breaking Down

With a low-center-of-gravity design created by using high-density material in the lower body and low-density material along the back, the Sakamata Swimmer resists losing balance and rolling over.

As a result, it maintains a stable swimming action from slow retrieves all the way to fast retrieves.

3. Versatile Enough for Everything from Weightless to a Swim Jig Trailer

That same design—high-density material in the lower body and low-density material on the back—also gives the bait excellent swimming stability and makes it easier to control depth.

It works well for weightless swimming from the surface to the mid-depth range, makes an effective swim jig trailer, and can even be dragged on a Texas rig.

Rather than being limited to a simple “straight-retrieve only” role, it is a versatile soft bait that can be adapted to different situations.

4. ATTRIX Material Gets Bites with Scent and Taste as Well

The material uses Deps’ proprietary ATTRIX formula, which combines scent and feeding-trigger ingredients designed to stimulate a bass’s predatory instinct.
