Big Bite Suicide Shad 3.5" 5ct Tenn Shad

The Big Bite Suicide Shad 3.5" paddle tail swimbait is a versatile soft plastic lure built for anglers who want a realistic presentation that works across different retrieve speeds and rigging methods. This Tennessee shad pattern comes in a pack of five and delivers the hand-painted detail and durability you need for a full day on the water without constantly swapping baits.

What sets the Suicide Shad apart is its forked tail action—it swims true whether you're burning it fast or working it slow, which means you're not locked into one retrieve speed to get the presentation right. The solid head construction holds up through multiple casts and fish, reducing the frustration of baits tearing apart after a few strikes. That durability matters when you're targeting aggressive fish or fishing structure where baits take a beating.

The split belly design gives you complete rigging flexibility. Drop it on a weighted hook for dragging along the bottom, rig it on a swim jig head for controlled depth control, or pair it with a dedicated swimbait head for a customized approach. Whether you're fishing shallow cover, open water, or depth transitions, you can adapt your setup to match conditions without changing baits. The Tennessee shad finish is a proven pattern that works in both clear and stained water situations.
