Yamamoto D-Shad

The Yamamoto D-Shad is a new twist on an old classic soft plastic swimbait. Heavier than a traditional soft-body jerk bait, the D-Shad allows for aggressive action, while enabling more effective fishing throughout the water column. This comes in handy when fish prefer a fast retrieval. When paused, the D-Shad will sink much like a Senko, with its heavier tail providing a shimmy that drives fish mad.

The D-Shad features a streamlined body and a thick, heavy tail that produces a side-to-side twitching action, allowing it to sink level. This unique design makes the D-Shad an attention-getting, soft plastic jerkbait. When trying to work a fluke-style bait fast below the surface, the usual problem is keeping the lure underwater where it can do the most good. However, Yamamoto's exclusive formula gives the D-Shad the density to stay down even when worked aggressively.

Yamamoto's story began with an idea and a dream. On December 21, 1976, Gary Yamamoto moved his family to Page, Arizona and purchased a campground. In 1983, Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits was formed. If you know Gary Yamamoto, you know his insatiable love for fishing is matched only by his obsession with producing the highest quality soft-plastic fishing lures. Every bait is inspected by hand, with any that fail recycled and reused. Annually, 2.5 million baits are shipped worldwide.

The Yamamoto D-Shad is a new breed of soft plastic jerkbait. Compared to traditional soft-body jerkbaits, the D-Shad's heavier construction allows for more aggressive action while remaining fishable throughout the water column. The D-Shad's molded-in weight provides an added advantage, enabling it to be rigged like any other soft-plastic jerkbait but with significantly less lead.

When paused, the D-Shad sinks with a desirable wobbling action, much like a Senko. Its thicker, heavier tail allows it to sink level and gives it a subtle shimmy that drives fish wild. Available in a range of colors, the Yamamoto D-Shad is a durable swimbait lure perfect for fishing scenarios where a fast-sinking, twitching action is desired.

In summary, the Yamamoto D-Shad is a new take on the classic soft plastic jerkbait, with a heavier construction that enables aggressive action and water column coverage. Crafted with Yamamoto's renowned attention to quality, the D-Shad features a streamlined body, thick heavy tail, and unique formula that allows it to stay down when worked hard. Whether paused or retrieved, the D-Shad's twitching, shimmying action is sure to entice strikes from even the most finicky of fish.
