Deps Frilled Shad Swimbait

Deps Frilled Shad is built around a streamlined, highly natural baitfish profile that stays believable when the water is clear and the fish have seen it all. The pronounced collar creates a shivering swim with a twisted body roll that reads like a real smelt or similar forage instead of a “plastic” glide.

That fan-shaped lip above the head acts like a brake, slowing forward travel so a steady retrieve can spontaneously kick off the trembling side-to-side roll. Rig it weightless when you want it riding high over rocks, grass, or pinpoint targets, or pair it with the Deps Midst Weedless Ball Jighead to keep the presentation in the upper column while threading through cover. With 3D eyes, molded gill rakers, and ribbing, Deps Frilled Shad keeps its bite-triggering detail intact in pressured situations.

Why It Works So Well

• Keeps a realistic, “easy meal” profile in clear water, thanks to the ultra-realistic body shape with 3D eyes and molded details.
• Coaxes followers into committing on straight retrieves, thanks to the collared construction that generates a shivering swim and twisting roll.
• Stays in the strike zone above rocks and grass without racing past fish, thanks to the braking lip that slows its movement through the water.
• Makes a convincing bass swimbait when fish are dialed on small bait, thanks to the streamlined forage shape and rolling “blink” effect.
• Lets Deps Frilled Shad shine in high-pressure scenarios, thanks to its controlled midst-style action that doesn’t need aggressive rod work.
