Strike King Redeye Shad Bait – Chartreuse Sexy Shad 0.25 oz Lipless Crankbait

Overview

The Strike King Redeye Shad Bait has long been a staple on the pros’ tackle lists. Designed by our National Pro-Staff, this lipless crankbait pairs aggressive in-water action with standout visuals, reliable hardware, and an audible cue that helps you read the response of the water. Its free-floating rattles add a subtle, inviting rhythm as it searches through different depths, making it a versatile choice for anglers who want to cover water with purpose without sacrificing bite potential.

What sets this bait apart

Color and contrast play a big role in getting a bass to commit, and Chartreuse Sexy Shad is crafted to grab attention from a distance and up close. The compact lipless profile produces a sharp, slicing wake as you crank, while the 3D eyes give the lure a lifelike presence that can help it look like real bait as it darts and slows. Premium hooks are designed for confident hookups, and the included free-floating rattles deliver an audible signature that can help trigger bites in a variety of water conditions.

• Chartreuse Sexy Shad color delivers strong visibility in stained or clear water
• Lipless design creates a powerful, wide action and noticeable vibration
• 3D eyes and authentic paint elevate the lure’s lifelike look
• Premium hooks support reliable, solid hookups
• Free-floating rattles provide an audible cue during the swim and fall

Real-life fishing scenarios

Whether you’re hunting for ambush points around weed edges, working open water near structure, or probing ledges, this bait shines. Cast and retrieve to cover water quickly, then vary speed as you approach cover. Let it thump into the edge and pause to invite a reaction bite as it drops through the water column. Anglers frequently pair it with a steady, probing cadence near brush, rock, or brush piles where bass often hold and ambush prey.

• Open-water casts to locate actively feeding bass
• Work along weed lines and cover where vibration matters
• Probe ledges and structure with a steady, medium-speed retrieve
