Strike King Red Eyed Shad Tungsten 2-Tap Lure – Chili Craw, 3/4 oz (648)

Overview

The Strike King Red Eyed Shad Tungsten 2-Tap is a lipless crankbait built for versatility on the water. It shares the proven profile of the standard Red Eyed Shad but adds a unique tungsten sound chamber. This design creates a double tapping cadence that can attract bites in a variety of conditions, from clear to stained water. With a 3/4 oz body in Chili Craw, this lure balances depth control with casting distance, making it a dependable option for both shallow and mid-range retrieves.

Why it stands out

• Unique tungsten sound chamber
• Perfect shad-imitating body profile
• Pro-designed paint jobs

In addition to its distinctive cadence, the Red Eyed Shad Tungsten 2-Tap features premium components that anglers expect. The lure includes premium hooks for reliable hookups, 3D eyes for lifelike appeal, and free-floating rattles that add flash and audible cues during action. The result is a compact, high-visibility option that remains easy to cast and control, even in windy or choppy conditions. The free-falling action is praised by many anglers, contributing to a convincing lure rhythm when the lure drops or pauses in the water column.

Practical use and scenarios

Imagine fishing around weed edges, rocky cover, or structure where shad are commonly feeding. The 2-Tap cadence can be most effective when you combine short retrieves with deliberate pauses, allowing the double tap to register during the pause and when the lure resumes. The Chili Craw color offers strong contrast in a range of water hues, helping the bait stand out without appearing artificial. At 3/4 oz, this lure can be driven to mid-depths with a steady sweep, then paused to let the chamber sound and rattles work together to entice bites.

What to expect on the water

• Striking cadence and action that can trigger bites from finicky fish
• Reliable performance from premium hooks and robust construction

Overall, the Strike King Red Eyed Shad Tungsten 2-Tap combines a proven lipless design with a modern sound chamber for an appealing all-around option. It’s a thoughtful choice for anglers who want a compact lure that delivers consistent action and a few extra sensory cues in the water.
