Illex Dexter Shad 175

Illex Dexter Shad 175 - Rolling Soft Shad

The Illex Dexter Shad 175 is a large soft shad designed to target big pike with a realistic baitfish profile and strong rolling action. Its supple body material helps fish take the lure confidently, while the dense construction is made to handle repeated attacks and demanding predator fishing. Boosted to the core with Nitro Booster shellfish attractant, this shad adds scent attraction to its visual and vibration-based appeal.

The Dexter Shad 175 works particularly well on straight retrieves, around sunken trees, along vegetation and under overhanging cover. Its paddle tail starts vibrating with the slightest movement, creating powerful water displacement that helps predators locate the lure. The body shape works with different sizes and shapes of jigheads, making it a versatile softbait for anglers who want a bigger presentation for pike and other large freshwater predators.
