Z-MAN Shadtron LT 6 in. Fast Sink – Blueback Herring

The Z-MAN Shadtron LT Fast Sink is a big-bait ElaZtech paddle tail swimbait engineered for open-water predators and deep presentations where you need to get down fast. The fast-sink formula cuts through the water column quickly while maintaining the same lifelike paddle tail thump that makes swimbaits so effective. Blueback Herring is a precise imitation of one of the most important forage species on the East Coast and in Southern reservoirs — a must-have color for stripers, hybrid stripers, and bass targeting herring schools.

Key Features

• 6 in. big-bait fast-sink profile — designed to reach depth quickly for deep open-water presentations, jigging, and targeting suspended fish on medium-heavy to heavy casting or spinning gear
• ElaZtech construction — 10x tougher than standard soft plastic; maintains action and stays rigged through multiple fish
• Paddle tail — produces a powerful, thumping swimming action at any retrieve speed
• Blueback Herring color — a precise herring imitation with blue back and silver/white sides; the premier swimbait color for stripers, hybrids, and bass in herring-dominant fisheries on the East Coast and Southern reservoirs

How to Fish It

Rig on a 5/0–6/0 wide gap swimbait hook or pair with a 1/2–3/4 oz. ball head jig or underspin on medium-heavy to heavy gear with 17–25 lb fluorocarbon or 30–50 lb braid. Let it sink to the target depth and slow-roll or jig through suspended herring schools. Blueback Herring is the go-to color on the Chesapeake Bay system, Santee-Cooper, and any reservoir where blueback herring are the primary forage.
