Steel Shad Original 3/8 White Shad

The Steel Shad Original 3/8 White Shad is a compact blade bait that delivers reliable flash and vibration for freshwater and saltwater anglers targeting bass, pike, walleye, and other predatory fish. At 2¾ inches long, this lure combines a stainless steel body with a molded lead weight, creating a bait that casts easily and maintains a tight, responsive action through the water column. Whether you're working shallow structure, drop-offs, or open water, the Original's proven design produces results without overthinking your presentation.

Built tough for repeated casting and aggressive strikes, the Steel Shad Original features two #6 VMC Permasteel hooks—corrosion-resistant hardware rated for both freshwater and saltwater environments. That means you can fish it confidently whether you're pitching it to largemouths in a muddy impoundment or working it along a coastal inlet. The compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for anglers who want a versatile blade bait that doesn't require a heavy rod or specialty tackle.

This is a workhorse lure: no gimmicks, no overcomplicated action, just proven blade-bait physics in a durable package. Add the 3/8 White Shad to your box as a go-to option when fish are feeding on small baitfish or when you need a lure that produces consistent vibration in stained or low-light water.
