"A breed apart, the Yamamoto Baits D-Shad is an attention-getting, soft plastic jerkbait with a streamlined body that produces a side-to-side twitching action. The tail, however, is thicker and heavier than the body. So on the retrieve, when you kill the bait, it sinks level and gives any hungry onlookers a little shimmy. Try it weightless by itself for twitching, but it works equally well on a Carolina rigor behind a ""Chatterbait"" or ""Scrounger."" Regardless of how you decide to use the D-Shad, you're going to be impressed with this bait's effectiveness. Streamlined body Thick, heavy tail Side-to-side twitching action Sinks level and shimmies"
