3-1/2". Floating TPE. Paddle Tail Rises on the Pause. 5 Per Pack. 14 Colors.
The Headbanger Lures BangerShad 3-1/2" is a compact, finesse swimbait built from extremely elastic, durable, phthalate-free TPE plastic with a waggling action and heavy belly flash at any retrieve speed. The standout feature: it floats — so when you pause, the tail rises naturally, imitating a baitfish feeding on the bottom. Deadly for bass, perch, and panfish. 5 per pack. Available in 14 colors.
Key Features
Floating TPE Material — buoyant TPE causes the tail to rise naturally on the pause, imitating a baitfish rooting on the bottom; a trigger no other soft bait in this size class produces
Paddle Tail at Slowest Retrieves — kicks continuously even at the absolute slowest retrieve speeds; no dead zones in the action
Amazing Action on the Drop — the tail spins and kicks during the fall; fish it on a count-down retrieve to target suspended fish at any depth
Ultra-Elastic & Durable TPE — withstands hit after hit and keeps its shape and action; outlasts standard soft plastics in the same size class
Compact Baitfish Profile — 3-1/2" matches small shad, minnows, and perch fry; effective for bass, perch, pike, and panfish
Detailed Scale Exterior — lifelike at close range; fools pressured fish in clear water
5 Per Pack | 14 Colors — UV Tail Minnow | Blue/White | Deep Purple Glow | Emerald Shiner | Firetiger | Goldhead | Goby | Lime Shad | Motoroil/Green | Motoroil | Golden Opportunity | Pearl White | Red/Black | Sexy Shad
How to Fish It
RockerHead (Recommended) — pair with the Headbanger RockerHead for an unreal paddle-tail action no other soft bait in this class can match; swim, hop, or count it down and let the floating tail rise on the pause
Jig Head — thread on a standard jig head and fish a straight retrieve at any depth; the paddle tail and waggling body produce action at all speeds
Weightless — rig weightless and fish shallow or near the surface; the floating TPE keeps it from sinking too fast and lets you work it slow over weeds and flats
Drop & Pause — count it down to your target depth and pause; the floating tail rises on the pause like a bottom-feeding baitfish — a highly specific trigger for bass and perch feeding on fry
Color Selection — Pearl White, Emerald Shiner, and Sexy Shad for clear water and shad/minnow imitation; Firetiger and Lime Shad in stained water; Deep Purple Glow for low-light and night; UV Tail Minnow for UV-active conditions; Goby for bottom-feeding presentations
TPE Care
TPE lures require separate storage from standard PVC soft plastics. Store in a TPE-approved box, keep colors separated to prevent bleeding, and avoid prolonged exposure to strong heat.
