Why do some lures work better for specific species?<\/h2>\n\n

Fish do not read fishing magazines or tackle catalogs. They have no idea whether a lure was designed for one species or another. Instead, they rely on instinct, reacting to a lure\u2019s appearance, action and the hydrodynamic vibrations it creates. That said, fish do have their preferences, which is why certain lure actions consistently produce better results with particular species. How do we know? Years of experience, countless hours of testing and thousands of fish caught have led us to conclusions we now consider proven principles. Of course, just because a lure is designed with one species in mind does not mean another predator will ignore it. However, it greatly increases your chances when you’re deliberately targeting your favorite predator. <\/p>\n\n

Musta Shad \u2013 Designed with zander in mind<\/h2>\n\n

Forgive us for the slightly longer introduction, but we believe it explains why, despite its versatility, we proudly call Musta Shad a true zander lure. Its slim spindle-shaped body, paddle tail, oval cross-section and smooth rolling action combine to create the perfect presentation for these “glassy-eyed” predators. Musta Shad is available in two sizes \u2013 5 and 7 inches (12.5 cm and 17.5 cm). The range includes 12 carefully selected color patterns, from realistic baitfish imitations to bold, aggressive fantasy colors. <\/p>\n\n

How to get the most out of Musta Shad?<\/h2>\n\n

To unlock the full potential of Musta Shad, make sure the hook does not extend beyond half the length of the body. Whether you rig it on a classic jig head, Cheburashka or an offset hook, this simple rule is worth following. Another important advantage is its versatility \u2013 Musta Shad performs equally well on a slow fall with light weights as it does with heavier jig heads and aggressive bottom presentations. <\/p>\n\n

Proven on the water \u2013 Designed by anglers<\/h2>\n\n

The design of Musta Shad is no accident. Every detail was created to achieve exactly the action we were looking for. During countless Live Sonar sessions, we carefully observed how zander reacted to different lure presentations. Musta Shad has that special something predators simply cannot resist. Naturally, it has also caught countless pike, perch and catfish, but we can proudly say it truly shines as a zander lure. We recommend Musta Shad both to stillwater anglers and to river fishermen chasing these “glassy-eyed” predators. Give it a try\u2014you’ll quickly discover what it’s capable of. <\/p>\n\n
