Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad 10cm Paddle Tail Smokey Shad

Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad — Paddle Tail Swimbait with Scent-Enhanced Action

The Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad is a 10 cm paddle tail swimbait built for predator anglers who want a soft plastic that triggers bites through lifelike movement and irresistible scent — right out of the packet.

Naturalistic Action from the First Retrieve

The Swim'n Caffeine Shad is moulded from a soft plastic compound that flexes under even light tension. That pliability gives the paddle tail a wide, rhythmic thump at slow and medium retrieves, mimicking a fleeing baitfish closely enough to draw reactions from wary zander, perch, and pike.

Coffee Scent and Salt Impregnation for Longer Holds

Infused with a distinctive coffee scent and enriched with salt, this swimbait appeals to a predator's sense of smell as well as sight. Fish hold on longer, giving you a cleaner hookset and fewer short strikes — a practical edge on pressured waters.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 10 cm paddle tail design and come in packs of 7. Pick your colour to match the light conditions and water clarity on the day:

• Smokey Shad — a muted, natural grey-smoke tone; strong all-round choice for clear to lightly coloured water and overcast conditions

• Ghost Shad — translucent natural shad profile; ideal for clear water and bright light

• Pearl — high-reflectivity white; effective in low light and slightly coloured water

• Pearl Flash — pearl with added flash; good for murky water or choppy conditions

• KVD Magic — distinctive pattern developed with pro angler Kevin VanDam; versatile option when standard naturals are not producing
