4-3/4". Floating TPE. Paddle Tail Rises on the Pause. 5 Per Pack. 14 Colors. Walleye, Pike & Big Perch.
The Headbanger Lures BangerShad 4-3/4" is the mid-size floating TPE swimbait in the BangerShad family — built from extremely elastic, durable, phthalate-free TPE plastic with a waggling action and heavy belly flash at any retrieve speed. The floating TPE causes the tail to rise naturally on the pause, imitating a baitfish feeding on the bottom. Step up in profile from the 3-1/2" to target big perch, walleye, and active pike. 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; keeps working even when the bait sits still
Paddle Tail at Slowest Retrieves — kicks continuously at the absolute slowest speeds; no dead zones in the action from the crawl to a moderate retrieve
Amazing Action on the Drop — tail spins and kicks during the fall; count it down to target suspended fish at any depth
Mid-Size Profile — 4-3/4" targets big perch, walleye, and active pike; larger than the 3-1/2" for when fish are keying on bigger forage
Ultra-Elastic & Durable TPE — withstands aggressive strikes and repeated bites; outlasts standard soft plastics in the same class
Detailed Scale Exterior — lifelike at close range; effective on pressured fish in clear water
5 Per Pack | 14 Colors — Golden Opportunity | Sexy Shad | Deep Purple Glow | Blue/White | Emerald Shiner | Firetiger | Goldhead | Goby | Lime Shad | Motoroil/Green | Motoroil | Pearl White | Red/Black | UV Tail Minnow
How to Fish It
RockerHead (Recommended) — pair with the Headbanger RockerHead for the signature erratic paddle-tail action; 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; effective for walleye on slow retrieves near the bottom
Weightless — rig weightless and fish shallow over flats and weed edges; the floating TPE prevents it from sinking too fast for a slow, natural presentation
Drop & Pause — count it down to your target depth and pause; the floating tail rises on the pause — the key trigger for walleye and big perch feeding on suspended or bottom baitfish
Color Selection — Emerald Shiner, Pearl White, and Sexy Shad for clear water and shiner/shad imitation; Firetiger, Lime Shad, and Goldhead in stained water; Deep Purple Glow for low-light and night; UV Tail Minnow for UV-active conditions; Goby for bottom-feeding presentations targeting walleye and perch; Golden Opportunity as a reaction color
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.
