Strike King Burner 1/2oz Sexy Shad

The Strike King Burner 1/2oz Sexy Shad is a shallow-running double-blade spinnerbait built for anglers who want flash and action in clear water. With its compact minnow-shaped head design, this bait tracks just below the surface while throwing maximum blade vibration—ideal for covering grass lines, timber, and open water where bass hunt in brighter conditions. The Sexy Shad color pattern mimics natural forage and pairs perfectly with the Burner's high-speed presentation.

What sets the Burner apart is the Raz-R-Blade—a thin-cut willow leaf design engineered to spin at higher RPMs than traditional blades. That extra rotation means more flash with less lift, so the spinnerbait stays in the strike zone longer instead of climbing toward the surface like heavier blade designs. This makes the Burner particularly effective when you need speed, clear-water visibility, and a bait that stays shallow throughout the retrieve.

The complete package includes a sharp Gamakatsu hook, a premium skirt, and quality construction throughout. Whether you're throwing it over shallow structure on a bright day or covering open flats where bass are keyed on small baitfish, the Burner delivers the combination of speed and attraction that gets bites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of water is the Burner designed for?

The Burner is built for shallow, clear-water applications where bass are actively feeding on small baitfish. Its high-speed, high-flash design works best over grass, timber, and open flats in bright conditions.

How does the Raz-R-Blade compare to other willow leaf blades?

The Raz-R-Blade is a thin-cut design that spins faster and generates more flash than standard willow leaves, while resisting the tendency to lift the bait toward the surface. This keeps the spinnerbait in the strike zone longer during a fast retrieve.

What bass species and sizes will hit a 1/2oz spinnerbait?

We have the facts on the Burner's design, but not on specific species or size ranges it targets. As with any 1/2oz spinnerbait, it's well-suited for most bass applications, but we'd recommend pairing it with the water conditions and structure you're fishing.

Is the Gamakatsu hook sharp out of the box?

Yes—the Burner comes rigged with a sharp Gamakatsu hook ready to fish.
