Lucky Craft Slim Shad D-9 Crankbait 70mm 2.5m 12g

Lucky Craft Slim Shad D-9 — Outwit Wary Predators at Depth

The Slim Shad D-9 (Diving-9) is Lucky Craft's answer to pressured fish and clear-water conditions — a slim, high-frequency crankbait that reaches the strike zone and stays there.

Tight Action That Fools Cautious Predators

The D-9's narrow body produces a fast, close-range wobble that imitates small baitfish with convincing realism. That subtle, high-frequency action is precisely what triggers reluctant perch, trout, pike, and zander when broader-shouldered lures get ignored. The slim profile also cuts through clear water without spooking fish holding near structure.

Reliable Depth Control from Cast to Retrieve

At 70 mm and 12 g, the D-9 casts accurately even in wind and dives quickly to its target zone of around 2–2.5 m. The suspending balance keeps it hovering at depth on a pause — a deadly trigger for fish sitting above bottom structure. Consistent tracking holds true even at faster retrieve speeds, so you stay in contact with productive water throughout the whole retrieve.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 70 mm length, 12 g weight, suspending action, 2.5 m running depth, and #3/#4 hook configuration. The only difference between variants is colour. Pick the colour that best matches your water clarity, light conditions, and target species:

MS American Shad — a translucent, natural shad imitation; excellent in clear water for perch, zander, and trout under bright or overcast conditions
Additional colour variants are available — choose a natural finish for clear, pressured venues or a more visible pattern for stained water and low light
