The Megabass Spark Shad features an incredibly lifelike profile, complete with anatomically correct fins that also help stabilize the bait and keep it from rolling at high speeds. The paddle tail kicks and thumps even at slow speeds thanks to its soft yet durable soft plastic composition, and a hook on the belly matches up with holes on the back of the bait to perfectly accommodate 3/0 to 5/0 hooks. Extremely versatile, the Megabass Spark Shad can be fished on its own, and is also a perfect compliment to the Megabass Spark Rig and Megabass Spark Rig Prop Type, as well as, other umbrella-style rigs.
Nothing comes closeNot sure what those other reviews are talking about colors/plastic changing, I've been fishing the 3” Spark shad for years in the Foothills of the Sierra for big Smallies and Spots, nothing even comes close to catching fish like this bait does, either drop shotting or on a 1/8-1/4 jig head, Big Macs even love it on a jig head in 65-75 ft of water. The new 3.6” in green shad is probably the best bait ive used in 50+ years of fishing, if anything they are too soft, only lasting about 3-5 fish before there shredded.

5” is great for a big swim jig trailerI love using the 5” on the back of a big swim jig. I got the idea from Geoffrey the king. The plastic is soft enough to slow roll but you’re still able to burn it, durability isn’t great but it catches fish.

Not the same baitAll colors have changed pretty considerably- especially the 2 I use most. All have a less vibrant color and closer shift to just white/grey. Tail is also definitely stiffer; hold the old ones, if you have them.

Too stiffThe plastic is very tuff/stiff. The bait looks awesome. Not quality I’d expect from Megabass
