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

Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad — Natural Action Softbait for Predator Fishing

The Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad (Swimbait) is a 12.5 cm paddle tail softbait designed for active predator fishing. Infused with coffee scent and salt, it gives pike and zander a reason to hold on just a little longer.

Soft Material, Lifelike Swim Action

The Swim'n Caffeine Shad is moulded from a supple plastic blend that flexes naturally even under light retrieve pressure. The paddle tail kicks and rolls at low speeds, making it effective on slow jig presentations or a steady linear retrieve — ideal conditions when predators are lethargic or pressured.

Coffee Scent and Salt Infusion

Beyond the visual action, each bait is impregnated with coffee scent and enriched with salt. Both attractants encourage fish to bite and hold, giving you a fraction more time to set the hook — a practical edge when fishing for zander in clear or cold water.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 12.5 cm paddle tail swimbait profile and come in packs of 7. Choose your colour to match water clarity, light conditions, and local forage.

• Smokey Shad — current variant; a translucent grey-smoke finish that mimics bleakfish or roach in stained to clear water; versatile choice for pike and zander

• Pearl — bright, high-visibility white; effective in murky water or overcast conditions

• Pearl Shad — natural pearl with shad-inspired patterning; good all-round option in moderate clarity

• KVD Magic — distinctive baitfish colour designed for varying light; suits clear to lightly coloured water

• Ghost Shad — subtle, semi-transparent finish; ideal for clear water and pressured fish

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — pearl base with a blue glimmer back; stands out in low light or deeper water

• Baby Bass — bass-imitating pattern; worth trying when bass fry or small perch are the dominant forage
