Strike King Caffeine Shad Softbait 10cm 8pc Watermelon Red Flake

Strike King Caffeine Shad — Salt-Infused Shad Bait That Triggers Strikes at Slow Speed

The Strike King Caffeine Shad is a 10 cm slow-sinking soft bait built for predator fishing, combining a subtle coffee scent, high salt content, and an air-filled bubble tail that delivers irresistible action even at the slowest retrieve.

Air-Filled Bubble Tail for Maximum Action

The hollow, air-filled bubble tail generates a tight, lifelike shimmy on the fall and during a slow, deliberate retrieve. This means the lure is working hard even when you're barely moving it — ideal for suspended or finicky perch, pike-perch, and other predators that won't chase a fast bait.

Coffee Scent and High Salt Content to Mask Human Odour

Strike King impregnates the soft plastic with a pronounced coffee aroma and a high concentration of salt. Together these additives help disguise unnatural human scent and encourage predators to hold on longer after the strike, giving you more time to set the hook confidently.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 10 cm slow-sinking profile and air-filled bubble tail design. Colour selection is the key differentiator:

• Watermelon Red Flake — a green-flecked body with red glitter; excellent visibility in stained or turbid water, great for pike-perch and perch in coloured river or lake conditions

• Ghost Shad — translucent natural shad pattern; a clear-water staple when fish are pressured

• Pearl — bright, high-visibility finish; effective in low light, overcast days, or deeper water

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back (Swimbait) — pearlescent body with blue back; suited to open-water swimbait rigs targeting larger predators

• Baby Bass — natural baitfish colouration; versatile match-the-hatch option in waters where small bass or roach are present

• Smokey Shad — muted smokey tones; works well in clear water under bright conditions
