The Headbanger BangerShad 3-1/2" is a bait full of life — made of extremely elastic, durable, phthalate-free TPE plastics with a waggling action and lots of belly flash at any retrieve speed. Why anglers fish the BangerShad 3-1/2" Paddle tail kicks at the slowest retrieves — and the bait has an amazing action on the drop Floating TPE — the tail rises when paused, like a baitfish feeding on the bottom Ultra-elastic and durable — takes hit after hit and keeps swimming Compact baitfish profile — deadly for perch, bass, and panfish Detailed scale exterior — 5 baits per pack When and how to fish it Rig it weightless, on a jig head, or — our recommendation — on a Headbanger RockerHead for an unreal paddle-tail action no other soft bait shows. Fish it on a straight retrieve, count it down on the drop, and use pauses to let the floating tail rise and trigger bites. TPE care: Don't mix TPE lures with regular PVC plastics. Use a TPE-approved box, keep colors separated, and avoid strong heat.
