OVERVIEW
The PENTA SHAD combines a small body's strong ability to get bites with a swimbait-style wobble. An inverted-triangle cross-section, like the hull of a ship, controls the water flow and keeps the swimming posture stable.
The tail root is thinned and made tall and narrow to hold back roll and strengthen the side-to-side wobble, and an original pentagon tail with a keel running up to its apex limits how much the tail bends in the current, for a strong action. Its full body also holds the hook well and casts easily.
“A small spark makes a great fire.”
Even the smallest things hold the power to create a massive impact.
The strength and hidden potential packed into this micro-crankbait.
