Head Hunter TadDad 1/4oz Deep Ghost Shad
The Head Hunter TadDad 1/4oz Deep Ghost Shad is a hard-body diving crankbait designed to mimic baitfish in deeper water where bigger bass, pike, and walleye hunt. At a quarter ounce, it's compact enough to cast far on lighter tackle but delivers the erratic, darting action that triggers strikes from aggressive fish. Ghost Shad is a proven natural pattern—a translucent gray finish that mimics real shad and works year-round across most freshwater conditions.
What sets a deep-diving crankbait apart is its ability to reach and stay in the strike zone. Whether you're working structure, drop-offs, or submerged timber, the TadDad will get down and stay down as you retrieve, wobbling and flashing at depths where suspended fish live. The 1/4oz weight makes it packable for backcountry fishing trips and light-rod applications without sacrificing castability or action.
This is a workhorse pattern for anglers who fish lakes and reservoirs where depth and presentation matter. Throw it around docks, rocky points, or weed edges, and let the hard body and internal weight system do the work. The Ghost Shad finish is especially effective in stained water or low-light conditions when bass and pike are more willing to chase.
