SteelShad Bottom Blade 1/2 oz Blue Flash – Vertical Fall Blade Bait

Overview

The SteelShad Bottom Blade Blue Flash reimagines a classic blade bait with a modern twist. Its distinctive design promotes a precise vertical descent, delivering a clean drop and an attention-getting wobble that helps the lure stand out in the water column. The compact profile pairs with a proven hook system to help you connect with targets and move smoothly toward the boat.

How it behaves on the water

As it sinks, the blade throws off flash and vibration that cut through light and lure the eye. It lands on the bottom in a standing, upright position, offering a different retrieve cadence than traditional side-to-side baits. The Blue Flash palette adds visibility under varying light and water clarity.

Key specifications

• Available in ⅜ oz and ½ oz sizes
• #4 Mustad Triple Grip treble hook
• Designed to fall vertically through the water column and land upright on the bottom

Practical use and scenarios

Ideal for targeting structure edges, drops, and weed lines where a vertical-to-bottom presentation shines. The combination of weight balance and sharp hook supports a range of retrieves from steady sweeps to subtle pauses.

Tips for getting the most from the Bottom Blade
