The 3.5 & 5 Sniper Shad's feature a stout solid body providing ample material to hook into and tapers down into the large thin paddle tail. The deep cut ribs will trap air bubbles and release them as the swim & provide a little extra flexibility. The tail of the Sniper Shad is full of action whether you are slow rolling them on bottom with a football head or burning them in with a weighted swimbait hook. The 3.5 DS Shad features a thinner body and smaller tail than the Sniper Shad making it an ideal Drop Shot bait.
