This bait REALLY shakes it up! It’s designed for early spring and late fall when water temps are 50-65 degrees and runs 3’ to 5’ deep. The ima Shaker works best when shad are on the move in the shallows.
It is a flat-sided bait with a thin lip, comes in 15 colors, and features a weight transfer system allowing the bait to travel up to distances of 60 feet on the cast. Coupled with greater accuracy, this bait is no match for its counterpart, the balsa crankbait.
With a medium speed retrieve, the bait will produce a wide wobbling action starting in the head of the lure and working its way through the entire bait.
The best results are in the back of the creeks and up the rivers thrown around wood, stumps, and rocks. The Shaker is an excellent lure for getting reaction strikes when nothing else seems to be working.
Recommended Line and Gear
Use it on a medium to medium-light crankbait rod with a 5:1 or 6:1 gear ratio reel ,whichever you prefer and use it on 8 to 12-pound fluorocarbon line, and watch it fill your live well up.
