The TW Dual Action Shad is a long standing favourite soft plastic with an action that allows it to work effectively both fast and slow depending on the species being chased. The paddle tail works well with faster retrieves and jerks of the plastic, and the long dangly fin along the top flutters and moves well on a slow retrieve, thus the plastic presents well at all times in the water. It's great to use off the beach, shoreline, and out of a boat.
This soft plastic is a killer for flathead, working well with a standard flick-pause retrieve off the bottom. It also works well for Barra and has caught its fair share over time, this is because of the long fin along the top which flutters even when retrieving the plastic slowly which barra love.
Pair the dual action shad with the for a great time on the water. The jig head sits the lure up on and angle as if it's feeding off the bottom, and while it's stationary the long fin still moves in the current and from the slightest movements of the plastic, an irresistible trait for aggressive predatory fish.
