10″ Hiro Shad (Ready to Ship)
This bait was developed to mimic various American, Gizzard, and Alewife shad populations throughout the states. The tall body coupled with a wide hinge gap gives this glide a big impression in the water column. The bait has been custom tuned and weighted with thinner wire Owner St-36’s to give the bait maximum hook-up ratio.
Presentation is matched with the mood of the fish; slow roll with reel pops around key structure or cover can often trigger the biggest bites.

FAQ
How is the weight and tuning of the Hiro Shad determined?
The bait is individually weighted and hand tuned using thinner wire Owner St-36’s to ensure maximum hook-up ratio and natural movement in the water.
What makes the Hiro Shad different from other shad imitations?
Its tall body and wide hinge gap create a strong visual impression in the water column, mimicking real shad populations more accurately than standard glides.
Is the bait suitable for all types of fishing conditions?
The bait performs best when presented slowly with reel pops around structure or cover, making it ideal for targeted fishing in areas with known fish activity.

The Hiro Shad delivered exactly as described. I used it in a shallow bay during early morning and got several strikes. The way it moves in the water is very realistic and it stayed intact even in strong currents.

Great detail and feel. I’ve tried several shad imitations before, and this one stands out. It hooks up consistently and looks natural when rolled slowly through the cover.

After testing it in different conditions, I found it especially effective during low-light hours. The hand-tuned weight and body shape make it stand out to fish in murky waters.
