FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad Softbait

FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad Softbait — Triggering Flanking Action for Predator Fishing

The FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad is a compact, paddle-tail softbait (Gummifisch) built for jigging, drop-shotting, and spinning after predatory fish. Its purposeful design creates attraction from the first splash to the final retrieve.

Noise on Entry, Action on the Way Back

The compact body shape generates a noticeable surface disturbance the moment the lure hits the water, drawing predators in before the retrieve even begins. Once you start winding, the large paddle tail kicks out powerful pressure waves while the body rolls in a strong, flanking action — a combination that mimics a struggling baitfish convincingly.

Built for Perch, Pike, and Zander

Whether you're working a jig head along the bottom for zander, hopping the lure through reed edges for pike, or finessing perch around structure, the Trouble Shad's compact profile and lively action cover all three. It performs equally well on a straight retrieve, a stop-and-go, or a slow rolling drift — giving you flexibility to match the mood of the fish on the day.

Choose the Right Variant

The Seika Pro Trouble Shad is available in multiple colours and two body lengths. Selecting the right combination helps you match local forage and target species more precisely.

• FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad – Brown Shiner, 8 cm: Natural brown-shiner colour in the shorter 8 cm length — well suited to perch and smaller zander in clear or lightly stained water.

• FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad – Brown Shiner, 12 cm: Same natural pattern scaled up to 12 cm — a strong choice for pike and larger zander, or when bigger profile baits are needed.

• Other colour and size variants (IDs 802840–802848, 721114, 721115) cover additional colour options; check individual listings for full specifications.
