Overview
When Power Team Lures decided to add a drop shot bait to their lineup, they paired up with the mind of JP DeRose from the World Fishing Network, and created a bait that literally mesmerizes bass with its action. At 3.6” long, the profile of this amazing bait puts it at the top of the menu for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Combined with its perfected, effortless action and neutral buoyancy, the JP Hammer Shad makes it unbelievably easy for drop shotters of all skill levels to catch more bass. If there’s bass in the area you are fishing, you’re going to catch them on this bait…as a matter of fact, it would be hard not to. Even wary and negative bass can only take so much of the Hammer Shad quivering in front of them before they inhale it…it’s just instinctual to them. The Power Team Lures JP Hammer Shad is also irresistible rigged on a Scrounger Head and fished like a swim bait, or dragged across the bottom on a football head, or even Carolina rigged.

Comments: In addition to being a very good drop shot bait this makes a great trailer for the Zman Stealth Blade chatterbait .

Comments: These things are awesome on a weighted EWG hook. It gives it a nice natural fall and the tail dances around a lot and drives bass nuts.

Comments: PTL are the only plastics I use. I've found it's best to settle on a quality manufacturer, learn their line, pick some favorites, and fish them hard. These JP Hammer Shads always produce for me. We use them as swimbaits and also on drop shot. I keep a good supply of these, Sick Sticks, and Craw D'oeuvre's, oh yeah, and some of the big 10" Ribbon Hinge Worms, and never need anything else.

Comments: BEST BAIT I HAVE IN MY TACKLE BOX. I use the Money colour 3.6inch, it is purple flick in low light conditions and goes clear when its bright works perfect for any situation..The way the tail is cupped and the buoyancy of the plastic make the action of the bait IRRESISTIBLE ON DROPSHOT. You will feel bites non stop I guarantee..If you wanna catch bass hook a 1/0 finesse wide gap hook through the chin and out the nose for perfect action. JP DEROSE HAMMER SHAD!!!!

Comments: Most versatile soft plastic I've ever fished! I've caught fish on this bait rigged with Drop Shot, Split Shot, Swarming Hornet, Chatterbait Trailer, Nose hooked on the surface, They just FLAT out Hammer Bass! They are very buoyant in the water, and float very well, extremely durable and available in great fish catching colors. My Favorite is Slam shad.

Comments: If you like to fish for Flounder/Fluke, this bait is a great immitation of a Mud Minnow/Killifish and slays 'em...

Comments: GREAT BAIT! the swim action on these drives bass crazy! Definitely worth giving a try.
From: Matt: Castaic CA
Comments: An amazing bait for a multitude of techniques. You can be sure to dropshot or shaky head your way to bass limits
From: Sonny: Wareham, MA
Comments: ridiculously good bait on a drop shot. These caught fish when nothing else would, even a roboworm. I fish from shore, so when I use roboworms on a drop shot, it tends to drop the tail a lot and the action isn't good. With these, the tail floats so the bait sticks out from the line with the tail on plane with the head, and I can just twitch it. I can't wait to use it for more stuff in the summer! (Ex. Jerkbait, T-rig, shaky head, etc.) Awesome lure.

Comments: This is definitely the most versatile bat I have ever fished! I have been hammering crappie, walleye, smallies and largemouth on it and have caught fish drop shotting, on a football head, scrounger head, weightless and even on a Carolina rig. Super durable as well... It doesn't get any better!
From: Mike: New York State
Comments: this bait is amazing for drop shotting for smallmouth. I caught 2 good sized smallmouth in like 10 minutes of fishing with this bait. I used it in spicy goby and actually later that day I caught a 3 1/2 pound smallie, those little guys don't play around they put up a really hard fight
