Short Overview

The Illex I-Shad 2.8" is a soft plastic lure for a finesse approach that faithfully imitates small baitfish and triggers strikes from cautious predators. Thanks to its soft body, sinking design, and attractant, it is an excellent choice for targeting zander, perch, trout, asp, and sea bass in both freshwater and saltwater.

Description

This compact soft lure, 2.8" (7 cm) long, was developed for situations where a natural and subtle presentation is needed. The I-shaped body with a flattened tail vibrates with the slightest rod movements, making it highly effective for drop shot, micro jig, split shot, no sinker, live bait rig, and Neko rig presentations. It performs especially well in clear water, under fishing pressure, and when fish refuse more aggressive lures.
