Quick take
A 4.5 inch soft plastic jerkbait that floats at rest but dives on a twitching retrieve, rigged weightless on an EWG hook.
The RaZor ShadZ is a 4.5-inch soft plastic baitfish with a segmented body and forked tail, sold as a pack of four. Rigged unweighted on a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG hook, it rests on the surface and dives on a twitching retrieve, and it also works as a trailer behind a bladed swim jig when a bulkier profile is wanted. Bass and redfish anglers who want a slow, darting presentation will find it a useful addition to the tackle box.
Best for
- Bass fishing with a jerking, erratic retrieve in shallow cover
- Redfish in skinny saltwater flats using a pause-and-twitch style
- Imitating small baitfish during topwater conditions
Skip if
- You need a lure that stays at a fixed depth
- You prefer a straight retrieves without active rod work
Strengths
- Segmented body creates realistic baitfish profile and action on the retrieve
- Floating design allows pauses where fish often strike on the rise
- Doubles as a trailer on a bladed swim jig when weighted
Trade-offs
- Floating design means depth control requires active rod work and timing
- Soft plastic can tear during snags or aggressive fish
- Requires precise twitching technique for maximum effectiveness

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.
