Strike King Caffeine Shad Softbait 10cm 8pc Smokey Shad

Strike King Caffeine Shad — Scent-Enhanced Soft Bait for Slow, Deadly Presentations

The Strike King Caffeine Shad is a 10 cm soft bait designed for predator anglers who want more than just movement — it delivers enticing action, high-salinity body composition, and a built-in coffee scent to keep fish biting.

Air-Filled Bubble Tail for Natural Action at Low Speed

The hollow, air-filled bubble tail generates a realistic swimming wobble even during the slowest retrieves or when the lure is barely moving on the drop. This makes the Caffeine Shad especially effective on neutral or finicky pike-perch that won't chase fast presentations.

Salt-Load and Coffee Scent to Mask Human Odour

The soft body is enriched with a high salt content and a distinct coffee aroma. Both work together to neutralise unwanted human scent on the lure, encouraging predators — zander, perch, and pike among them — to hold on longer for a better hook-up rate.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the 10 cm length and slow-sinking action, making them equally suited to vertical jigging, drop-shotting, and Texas or Carolina rigs. Colour choice is the key differentiator:

• Smokey Shad — natural translucent grey; all-round choice in clear to lightly stained water for zander and perch

• Ghost Shad — pale, near-transparent finish; low-light or clear-water conditions

• Pearl — bright, reflective white; coloured or murky water, overcast days

• Baby Bass — natural baitfish pattern; bass-influenced fisheries or mixed predator venues

• Watermelon Red Flake — green with red glitter; warm-water or vegetation-heavy environments

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — pearlescent with blue back; open water, deeper presentations (also listed as swimbait application)
