Missile Spunk Shad 4.5" 7ct Goby Bite

The Missile Spunk Shad 4.5" swimbait is a pintail-style soft bait built for bass anglers who want realistic, seductive action on their chatterbait, scrounger, Ned rig, or weightless presentations. Designed through a partnership between Missile Baits and Hog Farmer Baits, this bait combines a thick ribbed body with a small pintail that produces a tight, lifelike shimmy in the water. It's the kind of bait that works just as hard on a slow drag as it does on a snappy retrieve—versatile enough for shallow cover, grass lines, or open water, depending on how you rig it.

What sets the Spunk Shad apart is the attention to detail: the ribbed profile isn't just for looks, it displaces water and triggers reaction bites. The small pintail won't overshadow your jig head or Ned rig, but it will give you the subtle tail action that separates a productive bait from one that just sits there. You get Missile Baits' proven texture and scent formula in every pack, which means bass recognize it as a meal, not a toy.

Anglers running chatterbait-matched color schemes will find the Spunk Shad in many of the same hues, letting you dial in a convincing forage profile without second-guessing your color selection. Whether you're fishing shallow cranking zones, transition areas, or open water structure, this is a go-to soft swimbait that handles multiple rigs and situations without requiring a different bait for each one.
