NetBait HexTek EKO Shad Swimbait 3in & 4in | HexTek Texture & BaitFuel Scent

The NetBait HexTek EKO Shad is a 3-inch soft plastic baitfish imitation designed for finesse applications. Its tapered beaver-tail design delivers a subtle, natural swimming motion that remains convincing even at slow retrieves, helping the lure mimic a distressed baitfish with quiet confidence. The balanced profile works across conditions, from clear to stained water, offering an approachable presentation for a variety of predators.

HexTek scent emission technology pairs with BaitFuel X55 to create a discernible scent trail. The exterior features hexagonal dimples that hold the gel and release it gradually as the lure moves, extending the window of opportunity for a strike without the need for constant retrieval adjustments.
