Available in two practical sizes, 3-inch and 4-inch, this bait helps you match local forage patterns while staying versatile across a range of conditions. Its tapered beaver-tail design generates a smooth, natural swim motion even with a subtle twitch, giving predators a convincing target without overworking the lure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flat-sided profile is specifically shaped to enhance forward-facing sonar visibility, helping you read bait movement and detect active fish more reliably in both clear and stained water. Exterior hexagonal pockets increase surface area and hold a large volume of BaitFuel scent-attractant, releasing it gradually to sustain interest and encourage bites over longer windows. With a broad palette of proven baitfish finishes, the EKO Shad is ideal for rigging on jig heads, swimbait heads or as a trailer, providing real versatility for multiple species and fishing scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: 3\" and 4\" options to precisely match local baitfish profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction: Tapered beaver-tail design delivers a subtle, natural swim at slow retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonar: Flat-sided body enhances forward-facing sonar visibility for realistic movement cues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexture: HexTek pockets hold scent attractant and release it gradually for extended strike zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatility: Works well as a standalone swimbait, on jig heads, swimbait heads, or as a trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigging options: Pair with jig heads, swimbait heads, or use as a trailer to expand your rigging possibilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize selection: Choose 3\" for matched forage; select 4\" to cover larger forage and open-water targets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrieve strategy: Slow, steady retrieves with light twitches can provoke bites in pressured waters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConditions and finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater clarity: Effective in both clear and stained water where visibility matters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies versatility: Primarily bass-oriented but suitable for other predatory species seeking baitfish mimics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish options: A range of proven baitfish finishes to match local forage and water color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What makes NetBait HexTek EKO Shad stand out?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The lure combines tapered beaver-tail action, a sonar-friendly flat profile, and hexagonal scent pockets for extended interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How should I rig the HexTek EKO Shad?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Use on jig heads or swimbait rigs in 3\" or 4\" sizes with steady retrieves or light twitches for natural action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"NetBait","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42098147098704,"sku":"B0DW9KD1DD","price":32.36,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9645\/8576\/files\/netbait-hextek-eko-shad-profile-angle.jpg?v=1771919081","url":"https:\/\/canadawildco.com\/products\/netbait-hextek-eko-shad-soft-plastic-swimbait-3-inch-4-inch-green-shad","provider":"Canada WildCo. | Hunting Gear, Fishing Equipment \u0026 Outdoor Essentials for the Canadian Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
