NetBait HexTek EKO Shad – 3″ & 4″ Soft-Plastic Swimbaits with HexTek Texture

Overview

The NetBait HexTek EKO Shad is built to elevate soft plastic presentations with premium action, scent, and versatility. Offered in two practical sizes (3″ and 4″), this swimbait is designed to match local forage while adapting to a range of fishing conditions. Its tapered beaver-tail design produces a smooth, natural swim that remains convincing even with light twitches, helping you keep predators interested across longer retrieves.

The flat-sided body isn’t just about looks. It’s optimized for forward-facing sonar, delivering a crisp silhouette that reads true through clear and stained water. The exterior HexTek texture adds a tactile, hexagonal pocket system that isn’t just visually distinctive—these pockets are engineered to hold BaitFuel scent-attractant and release it gradually, extending the lure’s active window and keeping fish engaged longer.

What this means on the water

In practice, anglers can expect a lifelike profile that can be paired with a broad palette of baitfish-mimic finishes.
