Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad Softbait 7pc 12.5cm Pearl Blue Glimmer Back Paddle Tail

Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad — Paddle Tail Swimbait That Triggers Strikes on the Drop

The Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad is a 12.5 cm paddle tail swimbait (swimbait: a soft lure designed to mimic a baitfish) built for predator anglers who need a natural-looking, coffee-scented softbait that works from the first twitch. This pack delivers 7 lures in Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — a shimmering finish that catches light in clear to lightly coloured water.

Lifelike Action from Soft, Responsive Plastic

The body is moulded from a supple plastic compound that flexes freely under minimal tension. The paddle tail kicks and rolls with even a slow retrieve or gentle rod lift, generating tight, rhythmic vibrations that mimic a wounded baitfish. You do not need speed to make this lure work — it draws reaction strikes on a slow drag or a controlled fall.

Coffee Scent and Salt Infusion for Longer Holds

Strike King has incorporated a coffee scent and salt additive directly into the plastic. The scent masks handling odours and gives predators an extra sensory trigger to hold the bait a fraction longer — reducing dropped takes when jigging for zander and pike in pressured or cold-water conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 12.5 cm paddle tail body and 7-piece pack. Select your colour to match water clarity, light conditions, and target species.

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — shimmering blue-white finish; strong contrast in clear or lightly stained water; effective for zander and pike

• Pearl Shad — pearl body with shad-style colouring; natural silhouette for clear-water situations
