Available in 3 inch and 4 inch sizes to match baitfish profiles and adapt to different water conditions. Its tapered beaver-tail design produces a smooth, natural swim with light twitches, helping the lure feel alive in the water. The flat sided body is designed to play nicely with forward-facing sonar, offering clear targets in both clean and stained water. Exterior hexagonal pockets increase surface area and hold BaitFuel scent attractant, releasing it gradually to help maintain interest during longer holds. With a broad palette of proven baitfish finishes, the EKO Shad is versatile for rigging on jig heads, swimbait heads, or as a trailer, reflecting NetBait focus on quality and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSizes available in 3 inch and 4 inch to precisely match baitfish profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeaver-tail action delivers a subtle lifelike swim even at slow retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat sided silhouette enhances forward-facing sonar visibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex Tek pockets hold BaitFuel scent attractant and release it gradually\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVersatile for jig heads swimbait heads or trailers across species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal world use and versatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether fishing open water, around structure, or near weed edges, the HexTek EKO Shad can be paired with different outfits and rigs to fit your spots.
