FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad Softbait 8 cm — Flanking Action That Triggers Predators

The FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad is a compact, paddle-tail softbait built for spinning and jigging after pike, perch, and zander — delivering a pronounced flanking action that predators find hard to ignore.

Instant Attraction on Entry

Thanks to its compact, dense body, the Trouble Shad hits the water surface with an audible splash. That initial noise signal can draw predators toward the lure before the retrieve even begins, giving you an edge in active or slightly murky water.

Irresistible Flanking Action with Pressure Waves

Once the retrieve starts, the bait rolls into a strong, rhythmic flanking motion while the large paddle tail generates distinct pressure waves. This combination stimulates the lateral line of nearby predators and keeps them tracking the lure all the way to the rod tip — whether you're jigging, slow-rolling, or simply letting it drift (faulenzen).

Choose the Right Variant

The Trouble Shad is available in two lengths to match your target species and water conditions. Select the size that fits your rig and the fish you're after.

• FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad 8 cm — Brown Shiner: A compact profile ideal for perch and zander in rivers, canals, and shallower venues; pairs well with lighter jig heads. Perfect for finesse setups when predators are feeding selectively.

• FTM Seika Pro Trouble Shad 12 cm — Brown Shiner: A larger bait suited to pike and bigger zander; recommended for deeper water, heavier jig heads, and when you want to target trophy-sized fish.

• Additional color and size variants are available in the product matrix for matching local prey fish or water clarity conditions.
