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

Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad — Natural Action That Predators Can't Resist

The Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad is a 12.5 cm paddle tail swimbait built for targeting pike, zander, and other predatory fish. This Pearl colour pack delivers 7 ready-to-rig softbaits per pack.

Soft Compound for a True-to-Life Swimming Action

The ultra-soft plastic blend lets the paddle tail kick with convincing movement even at slow retrieval speeds or under light jig pressure. You don't need to work hard to trigger strikes — the lure does the talking, making it an excellent choice for finesse jigging as well as steady swimbait retrieves.

Coffee Scent and Salt Infusion for Longer Holds

Strike King has added a coffee scent and salt infusion to the compound, giving predators an extra reason to hold on after the bite. The scent disperses through the water column, helping draw fish in from a wider area — a useful edge when fishing pressured or clear water.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 12.5 cm paddle tail swimbait format and 7-piece pack. Colour choice is the key differentiator — match the hatch or adapt to water clarity and light conditions:

• Pearl — clean, bright white tone; effective in stained water, low light, or as a general-purpose attractor for zander and pike

• Pearl Shad — subtle natural shad imitation; versatile in clear to slightly coloured water

• Smokey Shad — muted translucent finish; works well in pressured or clear conditions

• KVD Magic — vibrant all-round colour favoured in varying light and water conditions

• Pearl Blue Glimmer Back — flash and contrast; good for open water and brighter conditions

• Baby Bass — natural baitfish pattern; suited to mixed predator environments

• Ghost Shad — near-transparent finish; a strong choice in ultra-clear water or post-frontal conditions
