Strike King Rage Tail Shad 5pk

The Rage Tail Shad by Strike King brings a revolutionary new look to top water fishing. Each Rage Tail Lure has a unique and exclusive tail design and is engineered like no other soft plastic bait. The Rage Tail is designed with a specific purpose and uses customized hi-grade plastics for superior action.

The secret to the Rage Tail is the unique ridge which runs along the edge of the tail. This ridge acts as a funnel channeling water through the length of tail creating turbulence and vibration. You won't believe the splash, noise and action that the rage tail design produces! The Rage Shad is best rigged weightless with the tail up on a 4/0 to 6/0 wide gap hook and fished on top of the surface for some awesome top water action. Protected by US Patent # 7,774,974.

Strike King Rage Shad rigging instructions.

Comments: Use heavier line and that will do away with most line twist your having with this bait.

From: TWellsJr: Temple, TX

Comments: Fish will destroy these things but the tear to pieces very quickly they break apart at the base of the tail too easily.  They also are hard to get to run true and not twist.

From: Sam: Crestview, FL

Comments: love this bait cast it a mile and u can fish it in flooded cover lilys and in open water throws water 6 inches in the air it wobles and is a fish killer.

From: Ben

Comments: Great lure,first fish was a 4+ lb fish.Caught about 5 before it tore up.Rig it per the package instructions and vary the retrieve and success is yours.

From: Tony: West Chester, PA

Comments: i have been using these things since they came out, if you rig them right they WILL NOT TWIST your line!! If you are inexperienced and dont pay attention to detail when rigging plastics, they will not run true, like anything else they will perform as good as they have been prepared to do so. i use a long shank wide gap 4 or 5/0 Z bend hook and it really helps with the tearing. If you let the fish take it and keep from pulling it out their mouths like you should be doing, they wont tear anyways. :o)

From: Justin: Tennessee

Comments:  Excellent bait, the tail tearing is something that any bait will do in this category, even some hollow bodied frogs with paddle tails.  As far as line twist goes, follow the instructions on the package and they work just fine.

Comments: sweet little bait, this thing is a fish magnet!!, it is basically a weedless soft plastic buzzbait. the only thing is you MUST pay attention to the rigging instructions that come in the box. so i recommend giving this bait a try, it loves to catch fish!!

From: Cade: Kentucky, USA

Comments: I like this bait.  Has a great surface action a little less subtle than a buzz bait, but you can throw it into the slop and its pretty weedless.  The tail I guess  because of its size does tear easy.  What I do to solve this is carry a few baits and as I see the tear start I replace it with a new one.  When I get home I glue them all back together with Mend it glue then I'm set for next time.  The tail won't rip off completely unless a pickerel or muskie hits it, and it tears right at the bend which is the thinnest part.

From: Steve: W. Milford, NJ

Comments: Good bait, first time using it i caught two 6 pounders but does tear very easily, green pump/chart works well.

From: Colton: Florida, USA

Comments: Just used a rage tail Shad for the first time this weekend.  Awesome!!!  Just make sure you rig it with the tail up for it to work properly.  The rage tail Shad has a louder sputter and the body has a small walk in it.  I was impressed by the action.  Just remember tail up rigging.

From: Chad: Jonesville, LA

Comments: These are aweful. The tails will tear off before you ever get a bite.

From: Tyler: Texas, USA

Comments:Um, no. These things suck, and the strike king claim to fish it weightless on surface is garbage. Try it, and all you will get is a ridiculous amount of twist as the tail overpowers the body and starts the entire bait into a fish repelling spin. Avoid.
