Copper Red Baits The Shank Blade Bait 1.9-Inch 3/8 oz

A Compact Metal Bait for Lift-and-Drop Fishing

Copper Red Baits The Shank packs a vibrating baitfish presentation into a 1.9-inch, 3/8 oz metal blade bait. It combines tight vibration on the retrieve with a flashing shimmy on the fall, giving you two ways to work the same cast.

Use it to explore deep structure, fish beneath the boat, or cover water with a slow, steady retrieve. Its compact profile suits freshwater bass, walleye, and perch feeding on small baitfish, especially when a restrained lift-and-drop presentation is worth trying.

How to Fish It

For a vertical presentation, lower The Shank to the depth you want to fish, then lift just far enough to feel the blade vibrate. Follow it down on controlled slack, keeping enough contact to notice a bite without restricting the fall. Start with short lifts in cold water rather than sweeping the rod through a long stroke.

When casting, let the bait sink to your chosen depth and work it back with short lifts and pauses, or try a slow, steady retrieve that keeps the blade vibrating. Watch for a jump in the line or unexpected weight during the drop. Around rock or bottom structure, avoid dragging the exposed trebles through cracks and debris. Check the hooks and attachment before each session.
