Quick take
A 4-inch soft plastic swimbait with paddle tail and bright slammin chicken color for saltwater inshore species.
The Bass Assassin Sea Shad is a 4-inch paddle-tail swimbait in Slammin Chicken, built for inshore anglers after redfish, speckled trout and snook. It can be cast, jigged or slow-trolled, and its paddle tail gives it swimming action when it is rigged on a jighead. It suits anglers who want one soft plastic for several inshore species.
Best for
- Redfish and speckled trout in shallow flats
- Snook around mangroves and structure

Skip if
- You fish freshwater bass exclusively
- You need a lure for clear-water presentations

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
