Strike King Red Eyed Shad Tungsten 2-Tap – Natural Shad, 3/4oz | REYESDTT34-699

Overview

Built on the trusted Red Eye Shad profile, the Strike King Red Eyed Shad Tungsten 2-Tap adds a refined layer of sound and performance. A dedicated tungsten sound chamber creates a crisp, double-tapping cadence during the retrieve, producing a distinctive chatter that can help your lure stand out on challenging days. While no lure guarantees a bite, the added noise is designed to attract attention in pressured or murky water conditions where standard rattles may blend in.

The lure preserves the iconic shad-imitating silhouette you expect, but with upgraded design details that anglers appreciate on the water. Pro-designed paint jobs pair with large 3D red eyes to create a visually compelling target, helping the bait read clearly through varying light and water clarity. Paired with premium hooks, this bait aims to deliver solid hookups when a strike occurs.

Key benefits

• Unique tungsten sound chamber for a distinctive double-tap cadence on the retrieve.
• Perfect shad-imitating body profile that promotes natural swimming action.
• Pro-designed paint jobs enhance visibility and realism in multiple conditions.
• Large 3D red eyes for increased on-water visibility and attraction.

Real-world use

Whether you’re dialing in a tournament-day pattern or fishing pressured areas, the 2-Tap Tungsten version adds a new layer of attraction. The natural shad color is versatile across water colors, and the 3/4 oz weight lets you reach mid-depth ranges with a steady retrieve or occasional pauses to provoke a reaction.

• Effective in stained to moderately clear water where added noise can draw bites.
• Works well when fish are cautious or are feeding on shad-like silhouettes.

How to fish

Start with a steady or slightly varied retrieve to uncover the cadence of the tungsten chamber. Cast near structure or weed edges, then sweep the lure through mid-water columns where bass often cruise. Adjust speed to keep the lure at the desired depth, and pair with a confident hook set when you feel a bite.
