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

Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad — Natural Action That Triggers Predators

The Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad (Swimbait) is a 12.5 cm paddle-tail softbait built for anglers who target pike, zander, and other predatory fish. Scent-infused and action-packed, it works hard even at slow retrieves.

Soft Compound for Lifelike Movement

Strike King uses a supple plastic blend that lets the paddle tail kick and roll with minimal rod or reel input. Even under light tension, the bait produces a convincing, fish-triggering action — keeping it in the strike zone longer without demanding a fast retrieve.

Coffee Scent and Salt Infusion for Longer Holds

The Swim'n Caffeine Shad is loaded with coffee scent and salt, two attractants that encourage predators to hold on after the take rather than dropping the lure. This gives you the extra split-second needed to drive the hook home, especially on short-strike days.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 12.5 cm body, paddle-tail action, and 7-piece pack. The only difference between them is colour, so pick based on water clarity and light conditions.

• Ghost Shad — translucent natural baitfish finish; ideal in clear water and bright conditions for zander and pike

• Baby Bass — green-patterned perch/bass imitation; good in moderately clear water

• Pearl — all-round bright option for low-light or slightly coloured water

• Pearl Shad — pearlescent shad profile; versatile in mixed conditions

• Smokey Shad — muted, smokey tone; effective in dingy or stained water

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — flash-accented back for overcast or deeper presentations

• KVD Magic — contrast pattern; covers a wide range of light and clarity conditions
