Short overview

The Illex I Shad 2.8 Tail is a finesse soft bait designed for fishing wary predators in freshwater and saltwater. Its slug-shaped body and flat tail create subtle vibrations with the slightest movement, making it an excellent choice for zander, trout, chub, sea bass, and other active predators.
