Yum Dinger 5" 8ct Red Shad

The Yum Dinger 5" soft plastic is one of those baits that belongs in every bass angler's tackle box. Available in a Red Shad colorway, this 8-count pack delivers the versatility and durability that have made Dingers a go-to choice for both tournament pros and weekend hunters. Whether you're working shallow grass, probing deeper structure, or covering water quickly, the Dinger's profile and natural action trigger bites when other presentations fall flat.

What sets the Dinger apart is its rigging flexibility. Rig it Texas-style for punching cover, Carolina-rigged for dragging structure, or go weightless and wacky-rigged for a slower, more deliberate presentation. The lure's lifelike action—subtle and natural rather than flashy—works especially well on finicky and heavily pressured fish that have seen everything else. The Red Shad finish mimics natural forage, making it an effective choice across varied water clarity and seasons.

Yum engineered the Dinger with a distinctive hook slot that improves hookup efficiency, so you land more of the fish that bite. The plastic compound is tougher than comparable stick baits, meaning each bait in your pack lasts longer and produces more actual fishing time. That durability advantage adds up fast when you're grinding through a long day on the water.
