Offered in 3\" and 4\" lengths, this soft-plastic swimbait lets you match local forage and adapt across different conditions. Its tapered beaver-tail design yields a smooth, natural swim motion even with subtle twitches, helping the bait feel alive on the pause and during quick retrieves. The flat-sided body is designed with forward-facing sonar in mind, giving clearer returns and a confident, real-bait silhouette in both clear and stained water. Exterior hexagonal pockets increase surface area and hold BaitFuel scent-attractant, releasing it gradually to maintain fish interest longer, plus the profile can reflect light for added visibility. The combination of action, scent and profile makes the EKO Shad a versatile option for rigging on jig heads, swimbait heads or as a trailer—opening up a range of presentation possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey design features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSIZES: Available in 3\" and 4\" options to precisely match baitfish profiles and local forage patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eACTION: Tapered beaver-tail design delivers subtle, natural swimming motion even at slow retrieve speeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSONAR: Flat-sided profile enhances forward-facing sonar visibility and mimics realistic baitfish movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTEXTURE: HexTek hexagonal surface pockets hold BaitFuel scent attractant and release it gradually for extended strike zones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVERSATILITY: Ideal for rigging on jig heads, swimbait rigs, or trailers for bass and multi-species predators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReal-world use and versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the HexTek EKO Shad to match the size of local forage and to cover a range of water types.
