What Makes It Unique?

The Berkley Bad Shad comes in two sizes: 2 inch and 2.75 inch. These size options allow you to fish a wide variety of fish without having to compromise and completely switch presentations.

Berkley® paired its world-class bait design engineers with a team of pro-anglers which includes hard bait legend and expert, David Fritts, to simply create dream baits. These hard baits capture the essence and action of artfully handcrafted wooden baits with exactness and durability from a synthetic science. The balanced designs throw straight and far and are consistently ready to run right out of the package without tuning.

The Bottom Line

Berkley has done it again with the Bad Shad. Building off previous platforms of legendary Berkley crank baits, the Bad Shad offers some of the most impressive, realistic color patterns of anyone in the industry. The ultra-slow rise of this bait on the pause, coupled with incredible side-to-side wobble is an absolute killer combination. At 2 and 2.75 inches, it covers a variety of species from smallmouths to mega crappies. Pair it with a variety of gear speeds to achieve varied depths.
