How to work it
The Shad FryZ 1.75" excels on ultralight jigheads paired with spinning or baitcasting tackle.
Cast near structure, drop-offs, or weed edges and work it with a slow, steady retrieve punctuated by pauses-the segmented tail generates lifelike action even on slack line. On the fall, the soft body and realistic profile trigger strikes from light-tackle species hunting small forage.
Rig it on a Micro Finesse ShroomZ jighead for precise depth control and natural presentation. The hook slot ensures secure, quick rigging. Fish it in shallow to mid-depth zones where panfish and shad congregate, adjusting retrieve speed to match water temperature and feeding mood.
