Northland Mimic Minnow Shad – Pack of 6 (1/8 oz, Green) | Northland Tackle

Overview

The Northland Mimic Minnow Shad is a compact 1/8-ounce swimbait designed to mimic a cruising shad. The green finish pairs with a natural silhouette to fit a wide range of freshwater settings—from quiet backwater coves to active current lines. This pack includes six minnows, allowing you to test different retrieves or rig setups without re-baiting mid-session.

Built with input from experienced anglers, the Mimic Minnow Shad blends practical design with the feel of real bait. The combination of a lifelike profile and a highly responsive tail makes it a versatile option for anglers who want a believable presence on the water while keeping gear simple and efficient.

Lifelike Action and Visual Lure

Two core features drive the lure’s appeal: a hyperactive paddle tail and a body that wobbles with a natural, side-to-side motion. The tail delivers quick propulsion on retrieves, while the body’s subtle movement mirrors a fleeing minnow. The reflective finish refracts light across the sides, helping the bait stand out in varying water clarity and lighting conditions.

• Lifelike motion attracts attention and can suggest an easy target for fish
• Reflective scales flash to draw interest from a distance
• Lightweight 1/8-ounce design enables precise casting on light tackle
• Six-piece pack supports testing across spots, depths, and retrieves

How to Use

On light gear, the 1/8-ounce weight is easy to cast and maneuver with finesse. Pair with a small jig head or weight-forward rig, and experiment with tempo—steady, slow crawls, quick pops, or short pauses near structure. Look for weed edges, drop-offs, and current seams where ambush predation is common.

• Best paired with ultralight spinning setups or finesse baitcasting gear
• Green color complements many forage species across water types
• Pack of six lets you diversify depth and retrieve patterns
• Effective in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs

Designed by anglers with a practical mindset, the Mimic Minnow Shad aims to offer believable presence without heavy maintenance. While results vary by condition and technique, many anglers find it a reliable tool for probing shallow and mid-depth zones with confidence.
