Steel Shad Original 3/4oz XL Gold
The Steel Shad Original 3/4oz XL Gold is a stainless steel blade bait built to handle aggressive freshwater and saltwater conditions. At 3 3/4 inches long, this compact hard bait delivers the flash and vibration that triggers strikes from pike, bass, walleye, and saltwater species. The gold finish mimics baitfish in bright water and sunny conditions, making it effective in a range of light levels and depths. The molded lead weight provides the heft you need for accurate casting and sustained action on both the retrieve and the fall—whether you're working shallow flats or dropping into deeper structure.
Steel Shad blade baits work best when you're covering water fast or targeting aggressive fish that respond to flash and vibration. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, so it holds up to repeated casting and solid strikes. Pair it with a short leader on a spinning or baitcasting outfit, and fish it steady with occasional pauses to let the bait flutter. In saltwater, this size cuts through current and keeps its profile in rough conditions.
Two #4 VMC Permasteel hooks come pre-rigged and treated for both fresh and salt water durability. They're sized right for the bait's profile and hold up to multiple fish without losing their bite. Whether you're chasing trophy walleye in a northern lake or stripers in a tidal estuary, the Steel Shad XL Gold delivers reliable action without the fuss of assembly.
