ZipBaits – Trick Shad 70 SP

The perch wobbler that's in a class of its own

The Trick Shad 70 SP from ZipBaits is 70mm long and weighs 7.8g. However, this small twitchbait is the absolute power when it comes to perch fishing. Its versatility in retrieval in combination with its special features make it unique. A hardbait that shouldn't be missing from your tackle box.

Internal values determine casting distance and the "click" trick

The ZipBaits Trick Shad 70 SP is equipped with the improved Mag-Drive weight transfer system. Unlike other manufacturers, it doesn't use lead and/or steel balls, but a cylindrical MZ-19 weight made of a titanium alloy. This runs on a rail and slides into the rear part of the body during the cast, where it hits an absorbing rubber stopper, ensuring a catapult-like casting acceleration. As soon as the bait touches the water surface and is brought to depth, the weight slides back to the front part and is fixed there by a neodymium magnet. With gentle or even retrieval, the weight remains in the front part of the lure, ensuring a perfectly balanced center of gravity. Therefore, the Trick Shad 70 SP is silent when cranked or gently twitched. When cranking, it exhibits a tight rolling action at a running depth of up to 2.20m. The bite rate here is already astonishing, but the real escalation comes with twitching, its specialty. Here, it breaks out to the side with a flank and remains calm and alluring on its side profile during pauses. In most situations, it's irresistible to perch. Here, the ZipBaits Trick Shad 70 SP reaches a running depth of up to 1.80m. But that's not all. There are days when perch want it snappier, and that's when it's time to jerk the ZipBaits Trick Shad 70 SP. Led with hard rod strokes, it not only breaks out wilder, but the weight also detaches and causes a loud click that drives perch crazy.

The Kickback Trick – Reverse PLEASE!!!

Cranking, twitching, jerking – as if that weren't enough, the ZipBaits Trick Shad 70 SP has another ace up its sleeve. There are no limits to the variety in retrieving this lure.

The absolute trump card of this perfectly balanced twitchbait is the kickback action. To do this, you have to bring the lure to depth first and then twitch it into the slack line with the rod tip pointing upwards. This makes the bait go in reverse. The best results with the kickback action are achieved after the lure has been suspended in the water column for a while. It does take a little practice. But once you get the hang of it, this kickback trick is another game changer when it comes to picking the really big ones.

As is usual with ZipBaits lures, the purchase price is of course extremely high.
But as they say: "Quality has its price."  

And if you want a catching machine, you can't get past the ZipBaits Trick Shad 70 SP.
