Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad Softbait 7pc 12.5cm Baby Bass Paddle Tail

Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad — The Softbait That Triggers Strikes on Instinct

The Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad is a 12.5 cm paddle tail swimbait built for predators that respond to subtle, natural movement — and enhanced with coffee scent and salt to keep them holding on.

Lifelike Action at Any Retrieve Speed

Made from a supple soft-plastic compound, the Swim'n Caffeine Shad produces a realistic, rolling paddle tail kick even under the lightest tension. Whether you're slow-rolling near the bottom or swimming it through the mid-column, the bait stays in the strike zone and works without any extra rod input.

Scent and Salt That Make a Difference

The coffee-based attractant scent combined with a salt-enriched body gives predators a reason to bite — and hold. In cold, clear water or post-frontal conditions when fish are finicky, this added dimension can be the edge that converts follows into takes.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 12.5 cm paddle tail profile and come in packs of 7. Colour choice is your main tool for matching conditions and water clarity.

• Baby Bass — natural shad-bass baitfish pattern; strong choice in stained or coloured water, or wherever perch and bass are present as forage; effective for pike and zander

• Pearl — high-visibility white; open water and deeper drifts in turbid conditions

• Pearl Shad — translucent white-silver; versatile all-rounder in clear to lightly stained water

• Smokey Shad — subtle grey-smoke; overcast days and pressured fish in clear lakes

• KVD Magic — chartreuse-accented; off-colour or murky water, strong contrast trigger

• Ghost Shad — near-transparent; ultra-clear water and slow, finesse presentations

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — blue-flash back; bright conditions and open-water trolling or casting
