NetBaitBF Ion 5in Red Shad 8ct

The NetBait BF Ion 5-inch Red Shad is a soft plastic stick bait engineered for anglers who want a bait that mimics natural forage with genuine scent appeal. NetBait infuses these baits with BaitFuel—a proprietary scent and attractant additive—to create a potent feeding trigger that goes beyond visual imitation. The Red Shad profile works for bass, pike, walleye, and other predatory freshwater species in a range of water conditions and seasons.

What sets the Ion apart from generic stick baits is the combination of its engineered fall rate and subtle body action. As the bait descends, it produces a gentle side-to-side movement that keeps it in the strike zone longer while the infused BaitFuel continuously releases a scent cloud—the kind of dual-trigger approach that turns curious fish into committed biters. Whether you're flipping around cover, dragging on bottom, or suspending on a jig head, the Ion's neutral buoyancy and slim profile give you versatility without sacrificing attraction.

This pack contains 8 baits, giving you enough for a solid day on the water or rotating fresh baits to maintain scent potency. Red Shad is a proven forage color that works year-round across most freshwater environments. The Ion is at home on a drop-shot rig, Texas rig, or football jig—pair it with the retrieve and cover that match your target water, and let the bait's scent profile do the persuading.
