Overview
One of the most realistic swimbaits to ever be created, the Mattlures Hammer Tail Shad presents an appetizing meal that will fool even the wariest of bass. Named after its patented hard thumping tail design, the Mattlures Hammer Tail Shad produces a thud and vibration that you can physically feel pulsating up the line to your rod. It will also remain perfectly balanced and true whether you’re slowing swimming it across the bottom or burning it across the surface. In addition, the anatomically correct body shape and highly realistic details of the Mattlures Hammer Tail Shad provides the ultimate in realism and a lifelike swimming action that fish simply can pass up.
Made from a super durable soft plastic, the Mattlures Hammer Tail Shad is able to withstand the abuse of hard hitting strikes from aggressive predators and intense fish battles without ever sacrificing its seductive swimming action. Armed with a heavy-duty single top hook as well, the Mattlures Hammer Tail Shad delivers lighting fast hook penetration and the power need to get big fish to the boat. Offered in a selection of highly detailed colors, the Mattlures Hammer Tail Shad is absolutely deadly on any body of water where big bass and large shad cohabitate.

Comments: These are the most realistic baits available right now period! But they have a huge downfall that will keep me away for the time being. They tear up extremely fast. Even before you catch anything on then they're already tearing around the hook. I cut mine off and do a modified BB rig with single stand wire. If you're going to use these you'd better have some super glue and mend it on hand.

Comments: Great bait! Looks exactly like a Gizzard Shad in person. It stinks a bit once out of the package. I just let it air outside a few days and it was good. I think that smell is the paint. Gets bit. Swims nice and subtle.You can let it hit bottom and super slow roll it. Comes over rock surprisingly well. Should be really good this winter and spring.

Comments: Had great expectations. Looks crazy real out of the package. Description says slow sink, but mine wants to ride right at the surface with the dorsal fin showing. I'm throwing it on 20lb. Big Game. Even so, im getting lots of followers.

Comments: I have 3. Badass swimbaits. Better off bending the hook up slightly for better hookups or bb rigging it and using a decoy quad or owner st56. Usually when they bite this, they full on chomp it and you really have to lay into them. Definitely will buy more as they tear up. Soft as other mattlures baits aswell.
