Quick take
A weighted spinnerbait designed for fast retrieves and schooling fish situations with a realistic shad profile.
The Strike King Rocket Shad in 3/8 oz comes in chartreuse shad and pairs a single Colorado blade with an oversized head designed for fast retrieves. The blade adds thumping vibration, which suits stained or dirty water and moving current. It is a spinnerbait for anglers who want a bait that runs fast and keeps the blade working in murky conditions.
