JP Hammer Shad, 3.6"

Small and subtle with the perfect profile to draw huge strikes. Perfect for drop shotting but so deadly as a trailer. Tore them up as a swimjig trailer right before the lakes around me froze up. Can't wait for this tournament season to bust this out.

First time working this lure under a poping cork for speckled trout and ended my day with going up to 25 trout and 5 flounder. Am very pleased with the quality. Will be buying more and using them with my clients.

This is by far one of the best soft plastics i use i chase red drum and trout and they can not resist this soft plastic bait holds up very well to the mouth of a drum i normally can get 10 slot reds before changing baits

Very good product I use it on a drop shot and it catches fish,
I use it in a lot of tournaments and it has helped me place in the top 5 every time. Thanks for this product

I used the hammershad in grass. Doesn't matter if it's matted, scattered, or standing. It absolutely destroys the fish. You can see pictures and vids of my technique here:

A lot of imitators out there but nothing can compare to the great action of the hammer shad. Pair that action with the variety of awesome colors available and you can literally match the hatch on any lake you are fishing when the drop shot presentation gets the nod.

For me its as simple as using three colors. Gill, Perch Fry and the Dinner Bell. 20' of visibility and a lot of tournament pressure on the glacial lakes up here in the northeast so you have to be spot on when it comes to mimicking the forage. Summertime up here means one thing and its drop-shotting for smallmouth; if you aren't doing it you cannot compete. If you are doing it you better have one of these suspended above your weight because I can tell you first hand I've seen it outfish other baits.

I was on a massive school of perch with the smallmouth lurking below them in 24' of water on an offshore ridge, my co-angler was also dropshotting but was using a green pumpkin minnow type bait. I limited out on my perch fry and kept on catching them until I showed some mercy and handed a few over (man am I nice or what!?) needless to say I think he was a believer afterwards.

This has to be the best early season bait i have used for small-mouth bass. So far have bought about 5 lbs of these and handed some out to everyone who wanted to try them with everyone telling me that they have had the same success

jp hammer shad is so effective with so many ways, use this bait on a drop shot as a soft jerk bait or just slow drag it for those cold water smallies it will work and catch you some slobs, only one secret to this bait, keep it a secret because this will make your fishing buddies jaw drop when they see you catching some big boys on this awesome hammer shad!!!!

It's been a little white since I've needed to fish the lighter line and the drop shot but that has to be my favourite way to fish the Swinging Hammer. Nose hook it with a 1/0 Lazar Sharp Eagle Claw hook or texas rig it on a Owner Twistlock Finesse 1/0 light wire hook and take your time. Using slow hopes and drags with the drop shot allows that tail to kick and increases the action. Great for bed fishing or when prowling the deep. Great shape and profile the smallies love it especially on Chautauqua Lake in NewYork.
