Jackall Cross Tail Shad

The Jackall Cross Tail Shad is one of the original finesse soft plastics developed specifically for drop shot fishing and has been a favorite among Japanese tournament anglers for decades. Designed to perfectly imitate a small baitfish, the Cross Tail Shad features a slender body, flat belly, and distinctive cross-shaped tail that creates an incredibly subtle quivering action with even the slightest water movement.

Its ultra-soft, salt-impregnated plastic delivers a natural feel that encourages bass to hold on longer, giving anglers more time to detect bites and set the hook. While it shines on a drop shot rig, the Cross Tail Shad is equally effective on Ned rigs, split shot rigs, small jig heads, and as a finesse jig trailer. Whether you’re targeting suspended smallmouth over deep structure or finicky largemouth in clear water, the Cross Tail Shad offers the lifelike action needed to trigger more bites.
