The Zerek Flat Shad takes the traditional paddle-tail soft plastic to the next level with a unique patented design. When a fish strikes, it squashes down horizontally and vertically, exposing the weedless hook and making for a great hook-up rate. That makes it perfect for casting into difficult spots. The ultra-tough material can stretch 10x its original length before even looking like breaking, and it comes pre-rigged on a chemically-sharpened mustad hook. With a wide range of fish-attracting colours and realistic eyes, the flat shad sets a new standard for what paddle-tail plastics can be.
