Strike King Rocket Shad 1/4oz Shad

The Strike King Rocket Shad 1/4oz is a single-blade spinnerbait built for anglers who want to cover water fast without sacrificing control or action. At a quarter ounce, it's compact enough to work tight to cover and in current, yet substantial enough to cast distance and maintain a true, tracked path even when you're burning it at wide-open throttle. The realistic shad head design keeps the lure balanced throughout your retrieve, whether you're working it through fast-moving water or cranking it over shallow structure.

The Rocket Shad's Colorado blade spins freely and tracks consistently across a range of retrieve speeds, creating vibration and flash that draws strikes from bass, pike, musky, and other predatory fish. The premium ball-bearing swivel reduces line twist and allows the blade to maintain independent rotation, so the lure stays true and eye-catching in the water column. That combination of stability and flash makes it an effective choice whether you're fishing murky current, heavy cover, or clear-water flats.

Available in multiple color patterns, the Rocket Shad adapts to different water conditions and forage profiles. Its smaller profile appeals to fish in clear water or when they're keying on baitfish, while the blade's thump and vibration work even when visibility is limited. This is a workhorse spinnerbait for anglers who trust speed and confidence when they need results.
