Yamamoto D-Shad

The Yamamoto D-Shad: A New Twist on an Old Classic

The Yamamoto D-Shad is a unique soft plastic swimbait that offers a fresh take on the traditional jerkbait. Heavier than a standard soft-body jerkbait, the D-Shad allows for more aggressive action while enabling anglers to effectively fish it throughout the water column. This feature comes in handy when fish respond best to a fast retrieval.

When paused, the D-Shad sinks much like a Senko, exhibiting a desirable wobbling action. The D-Shad's thicker, heavier tail provides a shimmying motion that drives fish wild. This streamlined bait features the following key attributes:

• Streamlined body
• Thick, heavy tail
• Side-to-side twitching action
• Sinks level and shimmers

The Yamamoto Brand: A Legacy of Quality and Innovation

The story of the Yamamoto brand began with an idea and a dream. In 1976, Gary Yamamoto moved his family to Page, Arizona and purchased a campground. Seven years later, Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits was established.

Those familiar with Gary Yamamoto know that his love for fishing is matched only by his passion for producing the highest quality soft plastic lures on the market. Every Yamamoto bait is meticulously inspected by hand, with any imperfect products being recycled and reused. The company's commitment to excellence is evident in the fact that they ship 2.5 million baits worldwide each year.

Durable Swimbait Lure

The Yamamoto D-Shad is a unique soft plastic jerkbait featuring a molded-in weight. Available in a range of attractive colors, the D-Shad can be rigged just like any other soft plastic jerkbait - but with significantly less added lead weight.

Staying Down and Shimmying

When trying to work a fluke-style bait aggressively below the surface, the common challenge is keeping the lure submerged where it can do the most good. Yamamoto's proprietary formula gives the D-Shad the necessary density to stay down even when worked with an aggressive retrieve.

Additionally, when paused, the D-Shad sinks with a captivating wobbling action, much like a Senko. Its thick, heavy tail allows the bait to sink level and impart a subtle shimmying motion that is irresistible to predatory fish.

In summary, the Yamamoto D-Shad is a feature-rich soft plastic swimbait that offers anglers a fresh take on the classic jerkbait design. With its specialized features and Yamamoto's commitment to quality, the D-Shad is a must-have addition to any serious angler's tackle arsenal.
