Booyah Mini Shad 3/16 Purple Glimmer Shad

The Booyah Mini Shad 3/16 Purple Glimmer Shad is a compact multi-blade spinnerbait designed to fool panfish, smallmouth, and light-tackle freshwater species when scaled-down presentations matter. Don't let the diminutive size fool you—this little spinnerbait punches above its weight class. The 3/16-ounce lure pairs three premium willow blades with a 50-strand silicone skirt that delivers the lifelike shimmy and vibration that trigger bites in clear to moderately stained water. The Purple Glimmer Shad finish adds flash and visibility without overwhelming finicky fish.

What sets the Mini Shad apart is its ability to maintain true running at high retrieve speeds. You can crank it steadily or work it with twitches and pauses—either way, the blade rotation stays consistent and the skirt action stays genuine. This makes it equally effective whether you're covering shallow flats, working current edges, or probing weed lines. The compact profile is ideal for anglers targeting smaller fish or working tight cover where a full-size spinnerbait would be overkill.

This is a go-to bait for creeks, ponds, lakes, and rivers where panfish and young bass congregate. Throw it on light spinning gear and you'll find it's versatile enough for both early season shallow work and mid-summer transitions. The Purple Glimmer Shad finish excels in low-light conditions and stained water where contrast and vibration attract bites faster than subtler colors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rod and reel setup should I pair with the Mini Shad?

This 3/16-ounce lure casts well on light spinning tackle—a medium or medium-light rod with a spinning reel spooled with 6- to 10-pound monofilament or braid is ideal.
